Verdict

CRESSWELL BREEZE found the smart Bitofapuzzle much too good in a novice chase last time. But she had won over track and trip before that and should give a good account now handicapping. Fourth Act has similar form having gone close at Ludlow before being well beaten behind Otago Trail in a higher grade handicap than this at Chepstow where Saint Raph finished runner-up. The latter has been well beaten again since but not much went right for Somchine at Wetherby last time when hampered before being pulled up and better is expected here.
