        Verdict

        Brabazon is now 14lb higher than when winning over 2m at Lingfield in November and was well beaten last time. Carnac has been in good form of late, but on the Fibresand at Southwell, and he's hard to win with in any case. Carbon Print had Faith Jicaro behind when fourth over 2m at Kempton a fortnight ago but this drop in trip is not sure to suit so this looks a good opportunity for PRIVATE EQUITY. The mare went close over C&D when runner-up to Taste The Wine in November and this looks an easier task than the one she faced at Lingfield last time.
