Verdict
Lord Brendy is fully exposed and can take a fierce hold but he only found a previous winner too good over course and distance earlier this month. Flat winner Grandiloquent was tailed off on his debut at Sedgefield while Ballyvoque has yet to realise early potential. FEARLESS TUNES finished well ahead of Fight Away Boys in a bumper here last month. He should do better now his attentions are switched to hurdles so gets a tentative vote.
