Verdict

BREWERS PROJECT hasn’t been disgraced under a penalty in two runs since making all at Wincanton. His second behind the useful Grumpy Charley here in February was a particularly commendable effort and he can give the weight away to Ludlow bumper winner Le Bateau, who is having a first run over timber, and Blumen Glory, who has finished second twice at Wincanton but may not enjoy this quicker surface. Mr Perfect showed promise in bumpers but may need this.
