A weak race unlikely to take much winning. Zoe Davison has a couple of respectable chances though and a chance is taken with BROTHER BENNETT, a dual winner over fences and the majority of whose form affords him decent claims. He does need to be forgiven his latest out-of-character run though but is otherwise consistent enough. Stable companion O'Rahilly is respected but the main threat could prove to be Chivers who is up to winning a contest of this calibre on the best of his form. Similar comments also apply to topweighted course and distance scorer, Sky Full Of Stars, who sports a first-time visor in his continuing search for form.
