Goes well fresh so interesting the gelding is back from a break since January. Probably still a lot better than he showed when last seen out but does have a bit to prove on only his second outing for his current trainer.

Boosted his yard's excellent run of form with a win at Carlisle last month, but faces a stiff test from a 5lb higher mark. The jockey's claim helps on that score but more still required. Stablemate of Bravery, so the betting will be informative.

Joined his current yard for £6,500 after winning a four-runner claimer at Wolverhampton last month. Repaid that outlay threefold on debut for Brian Ellison and now being kept on the boil. A 5lb higher mark found him out latest, so more to do now.

Fair form on the AW but only raced once on turf since September 2017 (not won on grass since winning a maiden in 2015) and comes here with a bit to prove on the surface. In-form yard's record here goes some way to redressing the balance. though.

Won a fillies only race last time - form franked by the runner-up since - so has to be respected. However, this looks a good bit tougher and the filly needs everything to go her way from a 5lb higher mark.

Unexposed on turf but is yet to make the frame and looks the stable's second string. Also has a history of wind issues and probably best watched on his first start after his latest bout of surgery.

Verdict

A tough one to call but BRAVERY has a good record when fresh and may be worth chancing in a race lacking strength-in-depth. The selection is versatile regarding the trip and ground and, given that he has been gelded since he was last seen out, this could be a good time to give the former Aidan O'Brien-trained five-year-old the benefit of the doubt. Waarif, a stablemate of the selection, arrives here in good form and also merits a check in the betting. Constantino has yet to win on turf but holds sound claims if he can repeat the best of his recent AW efforts - the betting market will be a good guide where he is concerned. First Flight is another to bear in mind.
