Fire Brigade is of interest now in a smaller field, especially given all the hype about him prior to the Lincoln (which he ultimately disappointed in), but GULF OF POETS won nicely at Pontefract earlier in the week and if having recovered from his exertions there could win again under a 6lb penalty. Red Label ran fairly well in a Listed race last time and could also hit the frame now returning to handicap company.
