CHEROKEE BRAVE hadn't looked much in his first two starts over 1m4f but showed a great deal of improvement over a quarter of a mile shorter at Leopardsown where, suited by the fast gallop, he made Forever Glory pull out the stops. Granted a strong pace here he can go one better and Shazamour, who finished third that day, looks held. Fountain Of Honour looks a big threat as she ran a fine race behind Terminal Velocity over this C&D last month and there is plenty of improvement in her. Dermot Weld's newcomer Harangue, a son of Street Cry, hails from an outstanding family on the dam's side and is one to note in the market.
