Verdict

The step up in trip may see well-bred WINDBREAKER open his account at the third time of asking. Leonato is a likely danger on the back of an improved effort at Lingfield, while it'll be no surprise to see Ralph Beckett's debutante Hapiness feature prominently.

4	Lope De Vega gelding had learned plenty from his debut when third of 10 on the all-weather at Lingfield on return. He's in excellent hands and has to be high on the shortlist in a maiden lacking depth. 2nd Pick 4 Leonato (Ire) Jockey: Billy Loughnane Trainer: George Boughey J: Billy Loughnane T: George Boughey	95	-	-	-	17%

6	140,000 gns foal, Camelot filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including 2-y-o 5f winner His Majesty and 6f winner Coill Avon, both useful. Dam winner up to 1m (2-y-o 6f winner).
