Brompton Brow ran his best race so far when third to Mawsem at Sedgefield earlier this month and is fairly handicapped on that effort. But we narrowly prefer DIRECT FLO, who has improved since her stamina was brought more into play and was taking on stronger opposition when fourth here four weeks ago. Himayna has some ability but doesn't appeal as one to rely upon and winning pointer Hathamore was well beaten under Rules at Sedgefield last time. Midnight Fun is probably best of the rest, though has rather lost her way lately.
