BROSNAN may well reverse recent course and distance running with Multi Grain on slightly more favourable terms and should again beat The Wee Barra. Giles Bravery's filly can open her account at the ninth time of asking ahead of Cape Xenia. The latter won at Leicester last year and has been placed in both starts this season, being beaten less than a length behind Flying Fantasy at Newmarket last time. Mahsooba isn't really getting any closer but Archilles is improving with experience and has been dropped a pound since finishing fourth at Windsor. Beverley third Normandy Knight is also dropping down the weights and has each-way claims again.
