Black N Brew is running well but keeps getting punished in the handicap without winning and was behind He's Got Rhythm over a mile here last month. He reversed the form over this trip a couple of weeks ago and should come out on top again. Fountain Of Honour is tied in closely with that pair but looks held and though Elwazeer has made massive strides over the past month an 11lb rise for his latest success gives him a difficult task. Orpens Peach scored over the trip at Wolverhampton before finding a mile just too far last time but is now on her highest ever mark so a chance is taken with BUBBLY BELLINI. He's better known as a sprinter but this is his surface and he'll be better for a recent run.
