Verdict

It was fast ground when Fox Appeal was last successful. Emma Lavelle’s charge is approaching the veteran stage now but still has a touch of class, though usually needs a run whereas BRAMBLE BROOK goes well fresh. The latter is probably high enough in the weights on his return but Braqueur D'Or has a question mark hanging over him at present and a first victory over fences continues to elude Beau Du Brizais, who rarely finds much when push comes to shove.
