Verdict
A winner at Kempton last month, Brains failed to cope with rise in the weights last time and it remains to be seen how Noble Peace fares raised 9lb having scored over track and trip on his first start for a new yard. PUERTO BANUS has yet to win but went close to doing so when runner-up over course and distance last time. It could be his turn today and he gets the vote racing off the same mark. Para Mio’s earlier success came over 1m4f while River Dawn scored over 7f on the Turf during the summer but last year’s winner Mr Mac has been struggling.
