Race preview
BAY BREEZE looks the sensible call having won over C&D, eight times off higher marks, and on the predicted going. His Carlisle fourth leaves him a little to find, but he has been dropped 2lb and won't get many better opportunities than this. Fanjove travels north for Ed Dunlop and drops back a furlong in first-time cheekpieces which looks an interesting move if they rekindle his enthusiasm, while top-weight Northcliff is down in class and distance after a disappointing run in better company at Ascot.
