MOUNTAIN BREEZE (5) returns from a layoff of four-and-a-half months. Scored over 1005m at Newmarket (Rowley) to launch the last campaign. Rates highly from the powerful Charlie Appleby stable and is the one to beat fresh up. LHAKPA (4) resumes after a break of three-and-a-half months. Looking to emulate her debut win over 1400m at Compiegne to kick off her last prep. The French form always stacks up nicely in this part of the world and she is one of the genuine hopes in the race. FLAMA SUNSHINE (2) started at $1.65 last time on the back of a win here on the dirt course two starts ago but was below her best, finishing ninth over 1600m. A turf surface won't be a problem and she is worth another chance. OCTANS (6) resumes from a spell of six-and-a-half months and is having her first outing under new trainer Guillermo Arizkorreta. Finished fifth at Listed level at La Teste De Buch over 1200m at the opening run last time in work. Watch closely.
