Ted's Brother is a C&D winner with form on soft ground and he should be in the mix with Serena Brotherton on board while No Poppy will also handle the going and looks capable of scoring off her current mark having gone close on her reappearance. Goal arrives on the back of a win on the all-weather and Caldermud has claims after scoring on his comeback at Yarmouth earlier this month. However, a chance is taken on the unexposed DRAKES DRUM as he won't need to find much improvement to figure in this and Rachel King rode a couple of winners for the yard last year.
