Firmly on the up since November and he won well at Wetherby latest; this is tougher

Won this race last year; yard in better form now than when twice held last month; chance

Seemingly better on AW now but this race is weaker than he's used to on grass; interesting
10 (4)	Bay Breeze Bay J:Cam Hardie T:Tim Easterby	J:Cam Hardie T:Tim Easterby	122	—	29-912	82	108	98	14d	—	—	+2	10.2	2.00/1	9 11%
Won at Ripon before a good 2nd over C&D; should remain competitive despite rise in grade
