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.
