Verdict

THE BIG BREAKAWAY has the potential to make a top quality staying chaser for Colin Tizzard and he's a confident selection to make a winning start over fences having created a big impression over timber last term. Soldier of Love and The Butcher Said look the main dangers, with Paul Nicholls' charge narrowly preferred having improved out of all recognition following a breathing operation.

  1. THE BIG BREAKAWAY (IRE)
  2. SOLDIER OF LOVE
  3. THE BUTCHER SAID (IRE)
