Verdict

It could be worth taking a chance on BATED BREEZE who did well under the circumstances having set a strong gallop on his first crack at this trip when fourth at Goodwood 6 weeks ago. The application of a first-time visor could put an extra edge on him operating from this career-low mark. Havana Mojito has been in good form at Brighton and is less exposed than most so he's a threat. Too Much Trevor and Nelson Rose can also feature in the finale.

  1. BATED BREEZE (IRE)
  2. HAVANA MOJITO
  3. TOO MUCH TREVOR
