BRAVO BRAVO was stepped-up in trip by Mick Channon for his first appearance in a handicap last time out and it reaped dividends and although the trip appears ideal, the penalty he carries for that success isn't. Despite this race being a more testing challenge he has plenty of scope for further improvement and he gets the vote. Suhailah didn't appear to relish this trip last time, The Composer hasn't won for two years but The Mighty Mod has been heading in the right direction with each increase in trip and may have frame claims. The trip is a question mark for Fine Lace but the ground is in her favour. Spiritonthemount handles all sorts of going and a line can be drawn through his last run as he didn't appreciate being hampered, however he has only one win so far and is completely exposed. Sunny Spells has never appreciated this trip and although he won last time out, this was over a mile and three quarters.
