Verdict

BRANTINGHAM BREEZE never looked like catching Tagrita at Wincanton last month but finished eight lengths clear of the third. The winner went in again at the weekend so the form looks decent and Emma Lavelle's grey can get off the mark in this with Richard O'Dea again taking off 10lb. Comical Red would have gone close over course and distance last time had he not made a mess of the last. He's only a pound higher and will be thereabouts if the blinkers work a second time. Uttoxeter scorer Over My Head was placed at Wetherby next time but may be a few pounds too high now.
