Verdict
Several of these have a shout including Big Brave Bob, who kept on well for second over 5f at Windsor on his debut. Gilded Hour went close over today’s trip at Kempton on her introduction while Scenic River was headed close home at Redcar last time with TALLOW a length behind. But the latter is expected to improve for that experience and the Haggas filly gets the nod to reverse running in this. The British Lion is a half-brother to Group 1 winner The Last Lion among others while fellow newcomer Monadee is related to a Listed winner.
