BALLYBREEZE looks to have got in on an attractive mark for his handicap bow so Sam Drinkwater's low-mileage 5-y-o gets the nod in an open contest. Hat-trick seeking Wor Verge rates the obvious threat, despite having a career-high mark to overcome, with the lightly-raced Kihavah appealing as the pick of the remainder for place purposes.
