Verdict

Love In Seattle, Brief Goodbye and Young Mr Grace are the principles here and a chance is taken on Brief Goodbye. The selection is a course and distance winner who is dropped to his optimum trip here after running creditably over further last time at Doncaster. He will have conditions to suit and should go well. Love In Seattle hails from the all-conquering Mark Johnston yard but he was a little disappointing at Doncaster last time. However, he had previously won well on this track when defeating Tony Tie and he could go well here, especially as his yard are in good form. Young Mr Grace proved he stays this trip when a good second behind Blue Trojan at Haydock last time, so he is another worth consideration. However, we will stick with Brief Goodbye as our idea of the winner.
