LA BREILLE didn't need to improve to get off the mark at Fakenham in October but she's been given time to get over that hard race, and in receipt of a handy 4-y-o allowance, is an interesting contender now handicapping. Hermes Le Gris represents an in-form yard and he could be capable of better on the back of a wind op, with Gorcombe Moonshine another to consider.
