Park View is proving herself to be a consistent filly and her conqueror last time has scored since adding strength to the form, but she's up a further 3lbs and may find the concession of a stone to BRIGADOON beyond her. The William Jarvis-trained gelding just failed to land an almightly gamble at Lingfield and is himself up 3lbs but our belief is he's capable of winning off this mark with a stiff finish playing into his hands. Eltheeb may do better now returning to a sound surface but he looks in the handicapper's grip at present, as does Kensei although he's a course and distance winner with a clear liking for conditions. Aquarius Star ran well at Pontefract two starts ago to suggest she'll relish this test and can do better than Frontline Phantom who is racing from out of the weights and Paintball, a consistent type weighted to the hilt. Henry San needs a market check ahead of his handicap debut but in the absence of that guide we fancy Brigadoon to gain his supporters compensation.
