Verdict

LIGHT BREAKS has been beaten a long way in all three starts but still manages to find himself with a big weight in this very moderate handicap. He's by Dylan Thomas so should appreciate this step-up in trip and with another three entries over the next few days he looks a typical likely improver from his yard so gets the nod. Chilworth Bells will be having his first start beyond a mile but he stayed on strongly to score over that trip at Southwell in January and was having his first subsequent start when runner-up at Newcastle a couple of weeks ago. Moon Arc and Blackfoot Brave were behind in that race but that was the latter's first start since September so he should get much closer. Frosty Flyer hasn't shown much so far but makes his handicap debut from a lowly mark.
