Verdict

Dawn's Early Light and Secret Glance have yet to finish out of a place and Dark Profit went close over 7f here in April. All three are separated by only 2lb on handicap figures but Tom Dascombe's charge makes most appeal on his length defeat at Ripon last time. BRAVE LEADER makes his racecourse debut and the Godolphin colt may well be good enough. He's a half-brother to the prolific Solidarity, whose five wins include three on the all-weather. Tough Call is also related to winners and worth a second glance.
