Verdict
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. Belmount has been a bit disappointing since winning at Ffos Las in November but still looks the danger as he's less exposed than John's Luck and Northern Bay with the latter also trying a new trip. Mighty Mobb was well ahead of Third Act when fourth at Fontwell after a break but has proved better over fences in the past.
