The 10-year-old SPARE BRAKES won for the second time over fences when landing a handicap over C&D earlier this month off an 8lb lower mark and can continue the run of form here. The Robert Tyner-trained won in comfortable fashion and can get the better of his nearest rivals in My Manekineko, still winning at the age of 11 and the solid and consistent Conright Boy in first-time cheekpieces who may have to settle for a runner-up position for the fifth time in his last six starts.
