Verdict

GROUNDBREAKER proved himself better than ever on his final 2 starts last year and appeals as the type who could be even better at 4 yrs, so he looks to have plenty going for him on his return, especially with Oisin Murphy booked. Savvy Victory is another who may raise his game further this season, with low-mileage 6-y-o Pride of America also respected back in handicap company.
