Race Tip

IT'S A BREEZE (4) completed successive 2m5f victories at this venue by 4. 5L and 10L and remains progressive despite a substantial rise in weights. Sets the standard. THICKTHORN TOM (3) scored three times from four outings including here in May before further chase triumphs at Stratford and Worcester. Main danger. LADY KARA (2) completed a hurdle hat-trick prior to unseating at the last on her fencing debut and is lower in the handicap now. Makes some appeal. QUICK SHARPENER (1) landed a Hereford contest by 9L before struggling across 2m7f at Worcester and should benefit from returning to this shorter distance. Not discounted.
