A couple of these are clear of the rest on today’s terms. One of those is Shareni but he arrives in woeful form and was tailed off at Goodwood last time. BARREN BROOK has not won for some time now but has every chance at the weights and Laura Mongan’s charge is expected to take advantage. It’s hard to make a serious case for any of the remainder with February’s Southwell winner Claude Greenwood perhaps best of them.
