Verdict

BRAAVOS is without a win so far this year but has slipped down the weights as a consequence and looks set to take advantage over this longer trip after finishing runner-up at Catterick - Sam England's charge gets the vote racing off the same mark today. Socksy drops in class and can figure with a repeat of an earlier second at Haydock while Lac Sacre ran well at Perth when last in action though that was back in April. Travertine has yet to figure over fences while Late Date failed to complete on his chasing bow.
