AVILES showed enough to suggest a race like this should be within his grasp when runner-up 3 times towards the end of 2022 and his stable has been in cracking form in recent weeks so he holds good claims back from a break. Recent C&D runner-up Highland Frolic could be the one to follow him home. Irish point recruit Breaking Cover is likely a bit better than he was able to show in a decent Ascot bumper in the autumn and also makes the shortlist now hurdling after 176 days off.
