Verdict

Brother Bennett scored over track and trip in January with Sky Full Of Stars well beaten but is upped in class off a 6lb higher mark. Catterick winner Ouro Branco failed to cope raised the same amount at Sedgefield last time so another chance goes to DELFACE. Placed in four of his five outings over fences so far, including last month’s second at Uttoxeter, David Pipe’s charge may come good in this. Elisezmoi disappointed last time having finished second at Lingfield earlier but Away For Slates would have finished closer if not for a last fence blunder here on his latest start.
