FormscanBy Michael Graham - WEST BREEZE kept on to be a never-nearer fourth in a big field handicap hurdle at Cork last month. He occupied the same place in a handicap chase at this course on his penultimate start when rated 102. Considering he runs off 90 again in this discipline, with his jockey's claim factored in, he has to be of interest. Niall Moore and Lake Chad teamed up to come home second at this track and in Tramore. The jockey's 7lb claim has the eight-year-old gelding on a handy mark. Lake Chad finds it hard to win with one career success banked, but he has been placed in two of his three spins around Clonmel. Rolly Bowley Boy shaped encouragingly when not beaten far into fifth on handicap debut at Limerick. This lightly-raced sort looks to be one of the more likely contenders.
