Verdict

Brains has done all his winning over shorter trips so far including last month’s double over a mile. Global Art only won an amateurs' race at Newmarket recently while Dual Identity remains 6lb higher than an earlier success at Salisbury. BAY OF NAPLES struggled at Chester last time but was only beaten a nose in a higher grade contest over track and trip before that and is taken to confirm running with third-placed Abrag.
