Brazilian Brush, Farpedon and Bahamian Lad catch the eye here and preference is for Brazilian Brush. Bahamian Lad has been fairly consistent in maidens and shaped well in a nursery last time over this course and distance last time. He raced wide last time, and if taking a more direct route here can play a major part. Farpedon has run well in two maidens to date for Henry Candy, and his form looks solid. He is unexposed and and looks sure to be thereabouts. Brazilian Brush showed real ability when a staying on third in a Newbury maiden on his debut, and this son of Captain Rio can be expected to have come on for the experience. His form looks the most reliable in the field and Brazilian Brush can sweep his rivals aside.
