Runner-up on two of his last three outings, well positioned at Ripon last time, so warrants respect for all he has something of an in-and-out profile.

14/1
One-time smart handicapper who shaped as if retaining some ability back from a long absence when third of 4 at Wolverhampton 15 days ago. Well-treated C&D winner, so not easily dismissed.

Edging down the weights but operating below best at present, so easy to look elsewhere.

Hasn't really kicked on from a winning return, seemingly amiss when last of 7 at Salisbury last time. Cheekpieces go on after a break and his stable does well at this track.

7/2
Newbury winner (from 1 lb higher mark) last year and generally running with credit this year, so not a forlorn hope.

9/4
Lightly-raced colt who is bred to do better and shaped as if in need of further when runner up over 10f at Chelmsford last time. Likely to take the beating having his first go over this distance.

Forecasts

Top Brass (9/4), Saligo Bay (9/4), Bandinelli (3/1), Pledge Of Honour (7/2), Dontaskmeagain (6/1), Frontispiece (9/1), Fire Fighting (14/1)

Verdict

TOP BRASS is yet to reach his limit and has been shaping as if he's in need of this step up in trip, so he's fancied to get the better of fellow 3yo Saligo Bay, who got up in the final strides to open his account at Newbury last time. Pledge of Honour is the pick of the remainder.

  1. TOP BRASS
  2. SALIGO BAY (IRE)
  3. PLEDGE OF HONOUR
