Breathless Times defied a penalty to land a double in novice company at Wolverhampton recently. He steps up in class for this as does the progressive handicapper Desert Doctor, who finished well ahead of Helvetian when scoring over track and trip last time. But the former was no match for CORINTHIA KNIGHT at Newcastle last month and Archie Watson’s sprinter has subsequently landed a Listed event on the all-weather at Chantilly. He looks the one to beat in this and already has a verdict over Lake Volta while Count Otto and Never Back Down are both preferred to Rock On Baileys, who has rattled-up a string of handicap wins.
