Breezemount went for £26,000 at the December Sales after scoring between the flags at Lingstown the previous month. He could be a nice chaser in the making. Dakota Grey followed a close second over 2m5f at Wetherby before failing to cope with heavy ground at Kelso and conditions are unlikely to be much better here. BERKSHIRE DOWNS has been making steady progress and followed a good second over this track and trip by going even closer at Kelso. Both runs were on very testing ground so this looks a good chance to gain her first success. Dubai Celebrity showed potential on the Flat but this is a tough ask for a four-year-old.
