This is a very open contest and we will side with Brooklyn Breeze, Indy Mood and Skenfrith may be the best alternatives. Len Lungo's gelding has obviously got ability and went off a shortish price for a valuable handicap at Aintree in November. He was never going well that day and was eased down to come home in his own time. This contest is a big drop in class for this highly thought of individual and if he decides to have a going day he will be very hard to beat. Indy Mood certainly was last time beating Capybara over the three mile trip here, that followed a comfortable victory at Kelso and he looks sure to close to landing the hat-trick. Skenfrith returned to form with a vengeance at Ayr last time, beating Broken Knights by a long looking four lengths, another bold showing can be expected. Katmandu and Culcabock are two others worthy of a mention, but in a very puzzling event, we will give the tentative vote to Brooklyn Breeze
