BRAMBLE BROOK has yet to win but has been getting closer and possibly found 3m2f a shade too far last time at Newton Abbot. Jonagold has gone back up the weights since winning at Bangor while Abbeygrey was well beaten at Worcester after winning at Newton Abbot. But Lime Street could be interesting off bottom weight given he represents last year's winning connections and still has some scope over fences.
