Western Breeze finished a length ahead of the more-experienced Card Game when runner-up on her debut at Wetherby. She should confirm that form here but needs to improve again if she is to trouble LOLLI. Nicky Henderson's mare was only worn down close home by Popping Along over this trip at Uttoxeter and will be a short price to go one better. None of the others make much appeal on what they've shown so far.
