Verdict

This looks to be a good race for its level, and the one who is the seemingly least exposed in the field is BREAKEVEN. He looked to finally get his act together with some easy wins to culminate his time in the point-to-point sphere. He is related to some good types and could be the class horse of the race. Plenty possess place claims, including Happie Days, who should find this company much easier, and Will You Win, who showed good improvement to place last time. Another debutante in Bull Halsey cannot be ignored given he hails from the yard of Gordon Elliott too.
