Verdict
Record Breaker has won eight times on the Flat but hasn't shown the same aptitude for hurdles and is worth opposing again after a modest effort at Bangor, though Jason Maguire apparently still prefers him to winning pointer Kellys Brow. AWAYWITHTHEGREYS won a Worcester bumper last summer and stepped up markedly on his hurdles debut when a close third at Ffos Las next time. He looks the one to beat here ahead of Perth fourth Formulation and the one-paced Nemi.
