BRIMHAM BOY scored off a higher mark at Hereford back in May and found only one too good at Newton Abbot last time. He's preferred to Neverownup, well beaten at Southwell on his latest outing despite finishing second. Crescent Beach made the frame on a couple of occasions last month but over shorter trips and Farmer Frank makes more appeal having slipped down the weights and finishing closer under today's conditional jockey last time. Morestead has the past form to figure but arrives out of sorts.
