Ted's Brother ended a long losing run over a longer trip at Hamilton last time but should still run his race back over today's trip. Dialogue will also appreciate the return to 7f and Mitchum will be taking advantage of his slide down the weights before long. Wolverhampton specialist SMALLJOHN has also won three times on Turf. He's back on a winning mark and after a recent third at Catterick, Bryan Smart's charge looks set to make another bold bid in this.
