RECORD BREAKER is nothing like the force of old when with Mark Johnston on the level when posting nine successes but he still retains a level of ability that has seen him perform acceptably in maiden and novice hurdle company over timber. Good ground is suitable and he should be good enough here dropped to the lowest grade. Ricardo's Choice is back in action this year after an enforced absence dating back to September 2009. He was tailed off last time on unsuitably heavy ground but his previous second to Mexican Bob here over 2m7f confirmed that the fire still burns in the 13-year-old. He should get involved, whilst Silver Lily, right out of form this year, would be a leading contender if rediscovering the level that saw her rattle up four successes last year.
