Breeze himself felt that he had shown 70 per cent of what he can do, adding: "I'd just like to say a big think you for the continued support from all of my fans that I keep getting.
"I'd like to thank my sponsors R1 bar Aldridge, and Aldridge air Conditioning. On May 9, I'll be looking to put in a performance!"
