OffMaster Breffni
Cases can be made for most of these and the suggestion is MASTER BREFFNI, who was progressive switched to fences last term and shaped well all things considered on return at Catterick. The forecast slower ground here won't be an issue, neither will the drop in trip given that this promises to be a strongly-run affair. The form of Escapeandevade's latest C&D effort looks very solid and he is a much-respected main danger. The 4-y-o My Noble Lord and Cabhfuilfungi are others to consider.

Generally below par for James Ewart last season, but his mark eased as a result and has found just one too good both starts for new yard, latterly coming home a clear second in a C&D handicap. That form has been given a handsome boost since and, still on a good mark up 4 lb, he's a big player.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosHaydock Park2m 67yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chase2/7Worcester2m 110yGood (Good to Soft in places)Chase2/9Kelso2m 1f 14yGood to SoftChase2/6Kelso2m 1f 14ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Chase2/2Haydock Park2m 67ySoft (Heavy in places)Chase6/7- 6SunnyvillaJ: Danny McMenaminT: Nicky Richards13/12-4Age 1011/2

A three-time winner in Ireland who advanced his form when making a winning start for Nicky Richards over C&D (heavy) last December. Almost 20 lengths adrift of second-placed Escapeandevade when fourth on return back here last month, but he is at least entitled to come on for that run.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosHaydock Park2m 67yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chase4/7Ayr2m 110yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chase2/6Haydock Park2m 67yHeavyChase1/8Limerick2m 1f 100ySoft to Heavy (Heavy in places)Chase3/8Cork2m 160ySoft (Soft to Heavy in places)Chase1/6- 3CabhfuilfungiJ: Conor O'FarrellT: Kerry Lee2U122-5Age 96/1

Fair hurdles winner who found improvement sent chasing last term, confirming previous promise when landing the odds in a Southwell handicap on New Year's Day. Wasn't disgraced when fifth on return at Cheltenham (2m, soft) and should be competitive with that run under his belt.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosCheltenham1m 7f 199ySoftChase5/11Bangor-on-dee2m 1f 77yHeavyChase2/5Chepstow2m 11yHeavyChase2/5Southwell1m 7f 182ySoft (Heavy in places)Chase1/3Ludlow1m 7f 212yGood to SoftChaseur/6- 5Pony SopranoJ: Tristan DurrellT: Dan Skelton1358-35Age 613/2

Didn't go on as expected following hurdles debut win at Exeter last term, but there were positives to take from his first run over fences at Worcester. Not so good back at Exeter since, but if able to iron out the jumping deficiencies that were apparent there he has potential from this sort of mark.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosExeter2m 3f 48yGood to Soft (Good in places)Chase5/9Worcester2m 4fGood (Good to Soft in places)Chase3/5Ffos Las2m 4fSoftHurdle8/9Exeter2m 161yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle5/6Sandown Park2m 3f 173ySoft (Heavy in places)Hurdle3/6- 8My Noble LordJ: Craig NicholT: Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero15833-2Age 47/1

Four-time Flat winner for Michael Bell in 2024 and successful start over hurdles for this yard in a juvenile race at Chepstow last October. Runner-up on chase debut/return at Wetherby (15.2f, good to soft) last month and this 4-y-o is open to improvement in this sphere.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosWetherby1m 7f 36ySoft (Good to Soft in Places)Chase2/6Doncaster2m 128yGood to Soft (Good in places)Hurdle3/10Musselburgh2m 3f 171yGood to SoftHurdle3/10Chepstow2m 11ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle8/9Cheltenham2m 87yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle5/10- 7Master BreffniJ: Brian HughesT: Micky Hammond5211F-3Age 716/1

Improved when bagging back-to-back small-field handicap chases in February. Early faller in his hat-trick bid the following month, but delivered an assured enough round of jumping when third on return at Catterick (19.2f, good). Goes on soft ground and he's an appealing candidate.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosCatterick Bridge2m 3f 51yGood (Good to Soft in places)Chase3/6Carlisle2m 4f 198yGood (Good to Soft in places)ChaseF/5Catterick Bridge2m 3f 51yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chase1/3Sedgefield2m 77yGood to SoftChase1/5Catterick Bridge1m 7f 145ySoftChase2/3- 1PrimozJ: Derek FoxT: Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore107-235Age 716/1

Barely came out of second gear when beating the re-opposing Escapeandevade in a match at Kelso in February, which was his second success over fences. Solid second back at Kelso in September, but has proved disappointing in 2 subsequent starts and now finds himself with a bit to prove.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosWetherby2m 3f 85ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Chase5/6Wetherby1m 7f 36yGoodChase3/4Kelso2m 1f 14yGoodChase2/6Aintree1m 7f 176yGood to Soft (Good in places)Chase7/14Cheltenham1m 7f 199yGood to SoftChase14/20- 4NetywellJ: Patrick WadgeT: Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore72P-38FAge 820/1

The first-leg of his hat-trick during 2023/24 campaign was in this very race and back on-song following a string of below-par efforts when runner-up at Kelso in March. However, he hasn't reproduced that level of form since and others make more appeal on this occasion.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosHaydock Park2m 67yGood to Soft (Soft in places)ChaseF/7Aintree1m 7f 176yGood to SoftChase8/9Kelso2m 1f 14yGood (Good to Soft in places)Chase3/5Perth2mGood to SoftChasepu/7Kelso2m 1f 14yGood to SoftChase2/6
