MASTER BREFFNI 11/4 WINNER!!!!!!!

Master Breffni appeared to take his form to a new level at Catterick on Tuesday afternoon, when winning effortlessly under a confident ride from Conor O'Farrell. It is not everyday you see a Racing Post comment on a horses performance say 'Travelled strongly, held up in last, smooth headway after 13th, good jump to lead going easily 2 out, went clear run-in, eased towards finish, canter,' especially when that horse was racing from 5lb out of the weights, and also 10lb higher than his previous win.

Of course you can only make an educated guess as to what the form is really worth, but the chances are the runner up ran close to it's best, and the way Master Breffni travelled throughout the race, and quickly put the race to bed, suggests that he is progressing rapidly.
