A modest race to close the card that should go to Bramlynn Brook, who has plenty in hand over his rivals in terms of scope and official ratings today. Harapour is getting the hang of things now and is preferred over Martin Pipe's German-bred newcomer, Maitre Levy, as the one to give the selection the most to do. Of the rest: Combe castle appreciates a stiff test of stamina and put in one of his better efforts last time out. However, he does need to prove that was not just a one-off performance and he is not one to trust implicitly today. Brave Caradoc is at least unexposed and will no doubt benefit from this if he manages to jump a little better than he did when he ran here last month. However, he would need to improve out of all recognition to get the better of Bramlynn Brook, who easily has the best form on offer out of this bunch set to assemble here. The son of Apple Trees is suited by a test of stamina and it will be surprising if he doesn't grind out a result this afternoon.
