CRESSWELL BREEZE is due to race for the third time in nine days under a double penalty but she's won her previous two without having a hard time of things and could easily complete the hat-trick.

Mighty Mobb was well ahead of Third Act when fourth at Fontwell after a break but has proved better over fences in the past.
