Brownsea Brink rattled up a hat-trick on Turf before finishing fifth at Ascot last month. He has already won over this course and distance and has every chance of bouncing back. GEORGE GURU is fairly reliable and should be thereabouts again. He had recent course and distance winner Common Touch and Sir Reginald behind at Ayr in September and meets the former on much better terms so should confirm the form. Tarooq may still have too much weight but neither Favourite Treat nor Atlantis Crossing gave their true running last time and shouldn't be ignored. Loyalty finished just ahead of Clockmaker at Lingfield five days ago and there should be little between the pair again today.
