Verdict

CRESSWELL BREEZE came good by six lengths when dropped into a lesser grade at Taunton last week. She's only had four runs over hurdles so there should be more to come and a penalty is unlikely to stop her here. Golden Games was second at Fakenham last month but was previously eight lengths behind Little Roxy over this track and trip and is only 2lb better off. Tambura makes her handicap debut but appears to be going backwards and none of the others have shown enough lately to suggest they'll be involved at the business end.
