The way that THE BIG BREAKAWAY bulldozed his way through the field at Chepstow left a lasting impression and he’ll surely take another step in the right direction here before going on to contest loftier targets in the future. He’s expected to prove too strong for a decent field but one that lacks his star quality based on his hurdles debut. I K Brunel one of his likely rivals has been found out at Grade 2 level twice and will appreciate this ease in grade but the main danger is expected to come from Craigneiche representing a stable with a good record with their novice hurdlers here. Killer Clown and Papa Tango Charly also enter the mix but are expected to be playing for the minor places.
