In depth
Verdict
Engrave got off the mark with a win over course and distance with Dawn View behind and the latter has subsequently gone close back here. But BEAT THE BREEZE got the better of Bad Attitude, due to run in the previous race, over track and trip two weeks ago and a good effort from the latter would boost confidence in his chances. Thunder Flash has failed to build on an earlier success at Lingfield but Bay Of Naples has been thereabouts over a mile recently and could play a part.
