      Verdict

      Jimmy Breekie has won a maiden hurdle at Navan and a novice event at Perth but carries a double penalty and is giving 6lb to MINOTAUR. Jonjo O’Neill found a soft race for the one-time Listed winner at Cartmel but he may be worth following over timber now he’s got his head in front. Bere Haven and Dwynant are winning pointers making their debuts under Rules while Main Fact won on the Flat in France last year, though has yet to show much since joining Dianne Sayer.
