It could pay to stick with BRILLIANT VANGUARD in his current form. He landed a double at Ripon before scoring over track and trip and is taken to confirm latest running with Gossiping. It’s been a while since Big Baz and Belgian Bill last won but Brigliadoro scored at Yarmouth and could figure again. Both Don't Give Up and Eagle Creek ran poorly on soft ground on their latest respective starts but are not easily dismissed on this surface while Sultan Baybars has shown his best form over 7f so far.
