22/1
Fifth of 7 in handicap at Ripon (8f, good to firm, 11/2). Off 175 days and will need to find improvement from somewhere if she's to belatedly open her account in this contest.

8/1
Very good second of 12 in handicap (22/1) at Newcastle (7.1f) 7 days ago, running on. Reproduction of that effort would give him every chance.

Forecasts

Daafy (9/4), Connected (9/4), Spirit Of Bowland (9/2), Kodebreaker (6/1), Brother Dave (8/1), Spartan Fighter (20/1), Fortuitous Star (22/1), Broxi (33/1)

Verdict

BROTHER DAVE posted his best effort yet when putting in good late work to finish second at Newcastle last week and he is taken to get the job done this time. Daafy goes well here and looks set for another prominent role, while Kodebreaker has edged down to a workable mark and is third choice ahead of Spartan Fighter.
