Verdict
BREAKING BITS (NAP) hasn't won for two years but he's been in good form this summer, apart from on easy going at Ffos Las in June, and can gain some reward for his efforts here. Bobble Emerald won at Ludlow in April but has struggled off higher marks since. Do We Like Him needs to rediscover his best form and so does Filbert but Thepartysover could reach the frame and makes more appeal than Royal Battalion on these terms.
