Braddock Island hasn't had much racing since winning at Sedgefield back in 2009 but ran well when third on his recent comeback at the same track and is worthy of consideration. He had Lerida behind last time and the latter continues to rise in the weights without winning, while both The Green Hat and Catholic Hill have a bit to find on earlier running with PRINCE TAM. The winner of two of his last three starts, both over C&D, Lucinda Russell's progressive chaser looks capable of adding to his tally dropped in class today.
