Long Shot Berry Breeze Handicap

Dual winner on turf at 2 yrs and showed benefit of reappearance with cheekpieces refitted when scoring on handicap debut at Newcastle (10.2f) 6 weeks ago, well positioned and just holding on. Nudged up just 2 lb and that may not prove his limit at this trip.

Off the mark on debut in a Southwell novice (1m) back in December and bettered that form next 2 starts, third on handicap debut at Wolverhampton (12.2f) in April. Well below best when fifth of 6 in handicap at Leicester (11.8f) 17 days ago but forecast quicker ground here could help.

Son of Dark Angel who showed improved form when second on handicap debut here and duly built on that when running out a facile winner at Chester (10.3f) 7 days ago. Promises to follow up under a penalty.

Showed a good attitude when a rare debut winner for his trainer at Newcastle in September. Ran well upped in grade at same course (8f) 6 months later but finished well held both starts in turf handicaps more recently, albeit faced with sterner assignments. Needs to get back on track.

Won twice on AW last winter and improved again since sent handicapping, good third over this trip on the Rowley Mile course here in May. Faced a stiff task at listed level since and return to calmer waters a plus.

Fair form on first 2 starts and took a step forward to open her account in 12-runner Southwell maiden (1m) in January, a more patient ride seeming to suit. Has since left Tom Clover and further progress not out of the question now handicapping on turf debut with that win having worked out well.
