Barnaby Brook won at Wolverhampton recently and is raised only 4lb but My Brother Mike carries 6lb extra for last week’s success at Newcastle. A rise in the weights proved beyond Cat Royale, who won over a mile on his penultimate start, while Silver Dixie found one too good again when second on the Turf course here last time. St James's Park has more scope than most but so has SCOONES (NAP), a modest fourth over a mile on his handicap debut but sure to appreciate this extra distance given James Fanshawe’s charge is a half-brother to high-class former stablemate Seal Of Approval.
