    In depth

    Verdict

    Brave Enough is hard to fancy and Kerchak looks stuck on his present mark. Wily Fox won over 1m4f at Lingfield in February and posted a decent effort over a shorter trip here last month when second to Prince Apollo. He should figure again back over today's distance but MILNAGAVIE is likely to prove too good. His season came to an abrupt halt last year after landing a double at Windsor and Ffos Las, but he's only 4lb higher in the weights today and can make a winning reappearance.
