In depth

Verdict

Berties Brother just gets the nod in this pretty weak affair, Sarah's Art and My Reflection could provide most danger. The selection stepped up on previous efforts to chase home Tilen at Wolverhampton last time. He looks as though he has now got the hang of this game and a similar effort today should suffice. Sarah's Art was well supported when dropping into this grade last time, but was a shade disappointing behind My Reflection. However she is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Meanwhile My Reflection cannot be easily discounted. He finished behind the selection last time but did win over this distance at Wolverhampton earlier this month. The pick of the remainder could be Sweet Cherokee, but Berties Brother is one that is going the right way and he edges the decision.
