A low draw has been advantageous in recent renewals, as it usually is when the ground dries out here. In spite of that potential drawback, comfortable AW maiden winner OCEAN'S BREATH, who was an unfurnished juvenile, is taken to make a winning handicap debut. Drawn 5 and with the champion jockey in the plate, Sovereign Cry looks a danger. Real Encounter will be better suited by this trip after a maiden win over 5f, while Michael's Well was a promising late-season juvenile and is better than what he showed on his return. [Mark Nunan]
