In depth
Verdict
This should go the way of Breaking Breeze. A winner over course and distance back in June, he hasn't been disgraced since. He isn't the biggest of animals, but he is a sound jumper and can prove too strong for Happy Change, who has yet to convince with his fencing. Lynphord Girl and Ghutah can fight out the minor honours.
