Forecasts

The Big Breakaway (4/9), Soldier Of Love (13/2), The Butcher Said (8/1), The Mighty Don (10/1), Doc Penfro (12/1), Wolf Of Windlesham (12/1)

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.
