Verdict

Bramlynn Brook hails from an in-form yard and may be able to defy an absence, with Celtic Major and Little Ed a couple to note in the market. With Venetia Williams sending out plenty of winners at present, confidence is high that Bramlynn Brook can bounce back from a break here against a filed mainly comprised of newcomers. The gelding ran his best race on his third career outing at Plumpton in February when chasing home a Nicholls hotpot, and must surely be capable of opening his account here on that evidence alone. Jonjo O'Neill knows what it takes to send out a first time bumper winner so any moves for Celtic Major should be noted. He is perfectly bred for the winter game, being by Roselier out of a Strong Gale mare and will make a smashing chaser in time. Paul Webber is another who knows the time of day in these events, just like his father did and Little Ed therefore must not be ruled out of contention. However, the experience of Bramlynn Brook should be a deciding factor in the finale.
