Brunston won a couple of races over timber early last summer and reverted to the Flat with a decent effort over 1m4f here last month where he led at today's trip. King's Colour won a seller over the C&D and just failed in this class on a return visit last week when Ajdaad was almost upsides in third and AVISO a close fifth. The latter needed a stronger pace which he got when successful at Wolverhampton on Monday and he can complete a quick double. Shabak Hom is generally consistent and his two unplaced efforts on Polytrack came very early in his career.
