Three times a winner on Polytrack, Adranian will be thereabouts if taking to the Fibresand but WHISKY BRAVO gets the nod to follow up Tuesday's victory over 5f at this track. The return to the longer trip will be no problem and David Brown's charge should get a good tow round from Sonsie Lass, who made all over C&D last month but is 7lb higher today as a consequence. Bartley won his maiden at Carlisle in June and Bryan Smart's runners usually handle this track, but Essexvale is hard to fancy on what she's shown to date.
