Brooklyn Breeze looks to have been found a suitable opportunity to add to earlier successes in bumper company at Aintree and last time over hurdles at Musselburgh in this novices' hurdle and is given a confident vote. Len Lungo's gelding should prove even better over fences next season but is expected to maintain his unbeaten record over hurdles here with Hawk's Landing looking the main danger. Jonjo O'Neill's gelding looked potentially useful when opening his account in bumper company at Kempton two starts ago and, although beaten in similar company here subsequently, he is sure to have been well schooled for his hurdling debut. Kempton second Crimson Pirate and Nicky Henderson's River Pirate are worthy of a mention but it will be a surprise if anything beats the Lungo horse.
