Verdict

CONQUER THE BREEZE probably isn't one for lumping on given he's prone to hitting the odd one but he had plenty in hand here on his recent first outing for Adam Nicol and still looks on a good mark. Diamond Mix is 2-2 over this C&D and is the obvious danger unless last year's winner Dream Jet bounces back to form after a break.
