Iolani would have made short work of these in his prime but he is clearly not the force of old so we’ll take BRAES OF DOUNE to add to his victory over 1m2f at Ayr earlier this month given he did place over track and trip just over a year ago. Spirit Of Ash beat the selection at Newcastle last month but the placings were reversed at Ayr. Cabinet Maker has never placed on Turf but has won three times on the all-weather and looks the pick of the remainder.
