Verdict

Course regular BE PROUD recorded his fourth win at this venue last month and Jim Goldie’s charge can defy a 3lb rise dropping down a grade. Buniann is another likely to find this easier than recent tasks having won off today’s mark here in October while Ballyare is not out of this either on recent form at Wolverhampton. Lorna Cole’s recent second came in a seller and Fashion Advice is preferred.
