Its A Breeze

11st 10lb

J: Paddy Hanlon

T: Paul Nicholls

Failed to complete in two of his first three chase starts but he's really got his act together with comfortable wins over C&D (good to firm) in his last two runs; up another 8lb but that was an emphatic success last time and he's open to more progress; key player.

Centara

11st 12lb

J: Paddy Hanlon

T: Paul Nicholls

Free-going front-runner who won four times over C&D early last season including this race; now 4lb lower than for his last success but he's struggled since returning from a break in May and was a long way behind Breaking Cover at Stratford last time; has some questions to answer and he needs to get back on track.

Paddy De Pole

11st 1lb

J: Freddie Gingell

T: Paul Nicholls

Hasn't had all that much racing for an 8yo and he's a four-time winner over hurdles; not far off his best when runner-up in a small field over 2m4f at Worcester and he needs further than that ideally; player.

Roadshow

12st 0lb

J: Freddie Keighley

T: Paul Nicholls

Sedgefield winner in September under Freddie Keighley; that form has some substance but he failed to build on it in a higher grade next time; ran well enough on his return at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good) in first-time cheekpieces last month and blinkers are now tried, but he remains on a tough mark.

Byzantium

12st 2lb

J: Paddy Hanlon

T: Paul Nicholls

2m3f/2m5f winner last summer on good ground; he was in lead when he ran out before second-last at Wincanton (3m, good) but followed that a very underwhelming effort; some reservations for now but the ability is there to get involved.
