Chancery was second to The New One in a Listed bumper at Cheltenham last year and has twice finished second on the Flat, including on the Polytrack in October. He's easily the best of the older horses but is conceding a lot of weight to the three-year-olds at this stage of the season. Shalwa wasn't beaten far when favourite on her debut at Lingfield earlier this month while Prairie Ranger was third over a mile at Newmarket in October. But middle-distances will suit BRASS RING this year and, certain to improve for last week's run over 1m2f at Notingham, he gets the nod.
