It was a surprise that BRADY was unable to justify market support at Cartmel last month as he'd been quite impressive when getting off the mark over hurdles at Uttoxeter. The sticky ground may have been to blame for his defeat and he's worth another chance here. Keenes Day won at Worcester last month but ran no sort of race on a return visit there seven days ago and may not be one to rely on. The Ferick won a Market Rasen bumper by 21 lengths and could be a danger receiving weight from the selection but it's difficult to have much faith nowadays in the thoroughly-exposed Glenora Gale.
