Brentford Hope⁵⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: J P Spencer| T: R Hughes| OR: 91| BF

Forecasts

Brentford Hope (2/1), Win O'Clock (5/2), Rhythmic Intent (16/5), Arctic Sound (11/2), Spanish Archer (14/1), Getchagetchagetcha (28/1)

This can go to RHYTHMIC INTENT, who will be suited by underfoot conditions and arrives on the back of a fine effort in a deeper contest at Haydock. Win O'Clock looks the likeliest danger.
