Brother Joe has an outstanding chance of claiming his third win over fences and cannot be opposed. A different class to these over hurdles, he blotted his jumping copybook by falling last time but, overall, you are banking on him doing the same again if opposing him. Royal Allegiance has at least won a hurdle race so connections will be disappointed if he does not bag some prize money, while although Princess Grec has been hammered by Brother Joe on a couple of occasions now, her connections will be hopeful of possibly getting the runner-up spot. Overall, though, Brother Joe is hard to oppose.
