BREEZE TO PUT WIND UP RIVALS

Stayer fits bill in Borders National

- 

BREEZE OF WIND (2.00) (below) can blow away his rivals in the stamina-sapping Bruce Farms Scottish Borders National at Kelso today.

Run over an extended four miles on soft ground, it will be a slugfest with several front runners in the lineup.

But with his featherweight and holdup style, my tip should be well suited to the makeup of this contest.

A winner off a mark of 103 on heavy ground over three miles last season, the grey then put up his most impressive performance in defeat when a closeup fourth in the Hexham Marathon Chase in March.

A mistake at the second last that day knocked the stuffing out of him before he rallied to be beaten narrowly.
