Verdict
Breccia was third at Exeter earlier this month but that was on fast ground. ADJUVANT was successful four times on the Flat up to 1m6f and the going won’t be a problem. He is rated 97 on the level and will take all the beating in this if translating that form to the jumping game. Recoup won on the Flat in France but has a first run for a new yard after a break. Ittack Blue has ability and still has time on his side. He’s had wind surgery since last seen but may make a better chaser than hurdler. Market Rasen bumper winner Choccabloc should make his presence felt, however, and Getaway Glory has already won a point.
