In depth

Verdict

River Bray is rated 8lb higher than MONSIEUR D’ARQUE but was beaten a long way last time at Southwell and possibly lacks the scope of the Skelton’s stable selection, who beat a subsequent dual winner when eased in grade a little at Ludlow. Jacamar was a surprise winner at Wincanton and has even more on his plate here now penalised. The other four-year-old, Powerful Society, is now 0-10 but has placed four times.
