Forecasts

Brakeman (5/4), Mc Moan (9/4), Valley Ofthe Kings (11/4), Montezin (20/1), Pearl's Edge (25/1)

BRAKEMAN shaped with promise when runner-up at this track over 6f after a 13-month absence and is ready to go one better. The fitting of blinkers on Valley Ofthe Kings looks a good move and he could be a big player back sprinting.
