Verdict

Be Fair won over today’s trip at Wolverhampton on his penultimate start while Brute Force finished runner-up over track and trip in April when just ahead of MARDOOF. But the latter was beaten only a length in a higher grade contest back here last time and is taken to reverse running on this occasion. Against The Odds has been off the track since 2018 and has switched yards.
