New Rich beat similar low grade opposition to this in a classified race at Wolverhampton recently. Toolatetodelegate posted a better effort over track and trip last time, despite finishing only fourth, though Legal Mind was hampered and failed to recover in the same race. BROTHER IN ARMS recorded his only win so far over course and distance in 2017 and has slipped down the weights since. He went close over 5f at Wolverhampton when finishing in front of Zipedeedodah and Barnsdale and Tony Carroll’s charge look ready for a return to winning ways.
