Formscan  - GROUNDBREAKER was last seen in September when beaten just under three lengths in a warm handicap that has worked out well at Newbury. The son of Oasis Dream has been gelded during his break which is likely to benefit him, especially given how keen he could be early on in some of his races last season. The main danger looks to be Baryshnikov, who stayed on well last time when third at Pontefract and has Billy Loughnane claiming 3lb. Savvy Victory completes the shortlist.
