NEVER SO BRAVE produced one of the best handicap performances in recent times under joint-top weight when winning the Buckingham Palace Stakes here last month and, with the slightly longer trip unlikely to hold any fears, he's fully expected to take the step up in grade in his stride. Haatem looked back to his very best when landing the Wolferton Stakes and merits plenty of respect, with Quddwah possibly best of the remainder.
