Verdict
Beyondthestorm won a point in Ireland in 2017 and went for £150,000 at the sales before making a moderate hurdling debut for Nicky Henderson last December. He'll do better but Blackjack Kentucky, another winner between the flags, was beaten a long way into third at Exeter in April. Enzo D'Airy had some decent form on testing ground in France and is one to keep an eye on but Colin Tizzard looks to have acquired a cracking prospect in THE BIG BREAKAWAY. An easy winner between the flags at Quakerstown in April, he went for a massive €360,000 at the sales a month later and can start repaying some of that outlay.
