Not too many of these hit the spot and MISTER BRICOLAGE is hardly one for maximum faith as he still remains a maiden under Rules, even when reduced to competing in the lowest grade on recent starts. He now has his first start for Peter Bowen and looks on a tempting mark especially with Sean Bowen's 8lb claim taken into account. He'll probably flatter to deceive once more but if there is going to be a time to catch him at last, it could be on this first run for new connections in a modest race off a feasible rating. He is undoubtedly a risky choice however. Course and distance winner Cadore should be all the better for a run on the level last month when not disgraced, whilst recent Irish scorer, Imperial Breeze, is likely to be in the shake-up if that improved effort is anything to go by.
