Batchelor Boy dead-heated for first at Brighton to open his account on Turf but TEMPLE BRUER gets another chance. Upped in class at Ascot last time, he had earlier won at Doncaster and can race off the same mark today with Saffie Osborne’s allowance taken into account. Sarah's Verse completed a course and distance double before struggling at Salisbury while Michaels Choice placed in a higher grade at Windsor recently and can figure back on his favourite track.
