George William (3/1), Graphite Storm (7/2), Breath Of Air (7/2), Ripp Orf (4/1), Pattie (9/2), Piece Of History (7/1), Love Dreams (9/1), Sanaadh (10/1), Toy Theatre (16/1)

Verdict

BREATH OF AIR, the only three-year-old in the field, is expected to run a decent race here and should be better suited by this track than at Goodwood last time where he had little luck-in-running. On balance he has plenty going for him than his more exposed older rivals. George William will run his usual solid race here, and the admirable Ripp Orf has to be respected every time he runs, but Sanaadh could be more dangerous having hinted at better things to come at Newmarket last time in a good race. Graphite Storm, a brave winner at Newmarket last time, is another who should be thereabouts.
