The three to note in this seller are Javlin, Beyond Brothers and Afeef with the vote going to the last named. Although Afeef is not weighted to confirm his Sedgefield form with Beyond Brothers he looks more of a battler and stayed on strongly that day. Beyond Brothers has since been beaten when sent off favourite at Market Rasen proving that he could be weighted up to his best and seems to always find one too good for him. Javlin comes from the inform Ian Williams yard and steps back in trip after being beaten into third by some massive outsiders in a similar contest at Ludlow last time out. He has his quirks but also has the ability on his day and is one to note in the market. But for the winner we return to Afeef.
