FormscanBy Tom Weekes - BREAKEVEN has shown a smart level of ability thus far and can win on hurdles debut. A dual point-to-point winner, he subsequently won a bumpers and was placed in a winners' race and comes here with proven stamina on soft ground and is the type to do better reverting back to jumps. Last Minute Man won his bumper on debut in January 2017 but comes here a third-season novice, having also had a 351 days absence in between. He is quite capable at his best, stays well on soft ground and should give the selection a race on best form despite lacking a recent run. A Gigginstown newcomer is a rarity these days and Fissa is a notable newcomer having being purchased in June 2018 for a cool E235,000. Fissa is the first foal from an unraced dam who is from a good family and while he is sure to know his job on debut, starting at 2m4f possibly suggests he is not the speediest. Vanillier is interesting having won a Dromahane point-to-point for Sam Curling last December and has since moved to Gavin Cromwell. %0A
