Betting Forecast

6/4 Its A Breeze, 4/1 The Gypsy Davey, 7/2 Chief Black Robe, 33/1 Chillhi, 10/1 Flashy Boy, 8/1 Watchoutitscookie, 10/1 Senor Diaz, 20/1 Emberscombe

Verdict

Off what is essentially just a 2lb higher mark (thanks to his rider’s claim) than when winning comfortably here last week, IT’S A BREEZE (nap) can follow up. The Gypsy Davey was second that day but he can be inconsistent, so Chief Black Robe is feared most now he drops back in distance.[Alistair Jones]
