Verdict
Brick Rising wasn't disgraced on his second start at Goodwood and could have more to offer, though will be qualified for handicaps after this. ENTRAPPING will have learned plenty of his debut third at Kempton and can land this. He was easy to back that day and probably needed the run and these look a modest bunch on the whole. Sylvester Kirk runs two newcomers and jockey bookings suggest Rock Diamond is the pick so he could reward each-way support.
