BREAKING WAVES won a big field bumper on debut last season and acquitted himself well to start this campaign in a strong Cheltenham contest. One of seven hurdles debutants his bumper form encourages the most so he gets the nod here. Igor is the most feared rival purely based on the fact that he hails from the all-conquering Nicky Henderson yard which mops up novice hurdles at an unmatched rate. Moonlighter is the only horse with prior experience over hurdles and his third at Bangor offered enough encouragement to suggest he will go close.
