Verdict

Dawn Breaking won over course and distance earlier and is penalised along with Catterick handicap winner Fortunate Vision. Ce De Nullis is weighted to beat both of them but ran poorly at Nottingham recently and Geesala Brave was expected to fare better than fifth at Newcastle last time. Rizzle Dizzle is related to three winners and could go well but a speculative vote goes to fellow newcomer BRIGAND, a half-brother to a two-year-old that won in soft ground.
