A moderate handicap with plenty of chances though BREEZED WELL looked one to follow when losing his maiden tag at Navan on Friday. James McAuley's charge took a while to get on top in that mile event but once in charge powered his way clear to earn a 5lbs penalty and tonight's extra quarter-mile will be in his favour. View From The Top appeared to need every yard of Dundalk's 1m4f when scoring there last month and may find these just too quick for him but Sports Casual is only 3lbs higher than when landing a handicap at Ayr and has to be respected. Denny Crane showed nothing in three starts on soft ground last spring but made a very encouraging reappearance on his handicap debut over the C&D a couple of weeks ago and looks a threat to all. Cool Athlete is still a maiden after 15 starts but has dropped to a fair mark as a consequence and shouldn't be overlooked.
