Not a contest where any of the runners boast standout credentials seemingly. Jan Steen delivered a better effort at Dundalk last time out and can be involved if repeating it back on turf while Hatton Cross began the season with a positive show at Cork but has rather failed to build on it since. Master Bond is well-handicapped on last summer's AW win at Newcastle while Compatriot made a fair start in his first handicap here in April and is worth noting in the betting in this return. BREEZOLINI has not won for a long time but has run well enough in two starts back from a layoff to suggest this race might be within his compass.
