Chartbuster is potentially an interesting proposition on his handicap and AW debut, and any market support for the Julie Camacho trained Mastercraftsman three-year-old could be worth following, but it is Konig Hall and MY BROTHER MIKE who hold the most obvious claims. The former makes the trip over from Ireland where he has shown consistent form for a number of months now, and this is probably his optimum trip. However, My Brother Mike was a striking winner over C&D last month, and he shouldn't be knocked for being unable to follow up under a penalty at Lingfield a week later (met the progressive Scoones). Whilst 7lb above his last winning mark, he's fancied to win again.
