Though Leeshaan just held on over this trip at Haydock last month he probably hit the front soon enough and sets a decent standard in a race like this, despite his penalty. Ferik is held on that form but Deadly Reel looks a danger on her third at Wetherby, where she was staying on despite racing keenly in the early stages. Landue never threatened at Salisbury but made late headway once the penny dropped and will almost certainly improve on that effort here. BREATH CAUGHT is a half-brother to multiple Group 1 winner Twice Over and makes his debut at a very modest level. If he’s inherited a fraction of his sibling’s ability, he should be much too good for these.
