A competitive affair, where Verni looks set for a big run after a couple of fine efforts over fences, while off bottom weight Mahlervous should appreciate the return to a sounder surface. However, COLIN'S BROTHER has been in fine form so far this season, again over fences, and as a previous winner over hurdles (again when switching back from fences) should be able to go very close on a surface which he'll be well suited to. Vivas and Brave Eagle are others with claims who are worth mentioning.
