Verdict

Witch's Brew, who is a half-sister to the high class chaser Simply Dashing, has shown enough to suggest she can win a little race, but while she should be in the shake up, she faces a formidable rival in the shape of Sikasso, who will find this much easier than when chasing home both Our Armageddon and the high class stayer Tees Components at Newcastle. A decent middle-distance handicapper on the flat, he looks the sort who could make a name for himself at this game. Stallone wasn't as good as the selection on the flat and he may do better when he goes handicapping, while Brown Teddy is out of a mare that stayed two and a half miles and he may do better faced with a stiffer test than this.
