Byron's Choice has won around here but has struggled since going up 5lb for scoring on soft ground at Beverley in May. Redarna counts three course victories among 11 career successes and is just 2lb higher than when scoring at Ayr in July but BRAVADO (NAP) gets the nod as he's been competing at a high level since a comfortable victory on fast going at Ayr and will have his conditions whereas Epic Endeavour's best form is on soft ground. The consistent Arranmore has won three times this summer but all in lower grades so could find a couple of these too good.
