Gelded since second on debut at Southwell last month, OLLY THE BRAVE is probably the one to beat in this with the benefit of experience. Former pointer Twasn't The Plan may need further but a couple of newcomers are worth a market check. Adicci represents Jonjo O’Neill but The Honeydipper is more interesting being a brother to winning jumpers and from a yard that can get one ready at home.
