Bravo Echo and Head Of Steam came out best of those who finished behind Grey Mirage at Kempton three weeks ago. But both were beaten over three lengths and Kakatosi also has something to find with Bravo Echo on earlier running on the Polytrack. Democretes finished closer when third over 6f at Windsor last time and Justineo has the form to figure, though his poor strike-rate tempers enthusiasm. SILVERHEELS scored over today's trip at Chantilly in November and a punt is taken on Paul Cole's charge on his reappearance in what looks something of a lottery, though The Confessor demands respect given his excellent course record.
