Walked over at Exeter earlier in the week but had previously nicely won over this C&D despite showing signs of greenness in the race. This race has a bit more depth to it, but hard to knock him given he's probably got more improvement to come.

11/4
Bumper winner on good ground at Fakenham last year, but win in a maiden hurdle at Plumpton in January came on heavy, so this quicker ground asks a new question of him. Slightly disappointing when a one-paced third at Chepstow when last seen and a bit to prove now.

Does know how to win when the opportunity arises, and having already won on good to firm in the past, shouldn't have any problem with this likely quick ground. Stays well and not knocked about on latest run at Newbury, making late progress into midfield. Not discounted.

7/1
This would be his trip and needs good ground to better to show his best, and showed promise on his first run since September when midfield at Ludlow in early April. Yard firing on all cylinders after a quiet winter, and has to be on the shortlist here.

Verdict

With the Jamie Snowden team in such good form, it's worth chancing that BREAKING BITS is ready to strike under conditions that suit him so well. There were definite signs that his turn may not be far away at Ludlow last time, and this looks a suitable opportunity. San Satiro is in good form and appears to be going the right way but has to give the selection plenty of weight and that could prove decisive Let's Go Dutchess has more on her plate but is a trier and may well pick up some more prize money despite climbing in class today.
  1. Breaking Bits
  2. San Satiro
  3. Lets Go Dutchess
