Racing Post verdict
Third-partyPossessive found a significant rise in class on his most recent start too demanding, but dropping back into a more appropriate sphere today with a trainer renowned for handling juveniles gives him a strong platform to deliver; he acts at this trip on today's going and should be sharper for the experience. Kodiak Breeze represents the clear danger after taking a maiden in convincing fashion on his latest start and is entitled to respect under a penalty. Possessive is our selection.
