In depth

Verdict

Another Brother gets the vote in the finale, with Lease Lend and Pen Gwen also considered. The selection has gone close on each of his last two starts and he was only beaten a neck by Foxspur at Uttoxeter last time. He should go on this ground and he can get his head in front. Lease Lend is another that should go on the ground and he has also been running consistently well. He is stepped-up in trip which should not be a problem and he can go close. Pen Gwen was far from disgraced back in third behind Oh Crick last time and he is another that will handle the ground. However, he has shaped as though his future will be over the bigger obstacles. Etxalar looks to be going the right way on the evidence of his most recent run here and Lucinda Russell's 5-year-old is well worth considering. However, we prefer the claims of Another Brother who looks to have plenty in his favour today.
