Verdict
Bumper winner Lovely Lou Lou is penalised for winning over 1m6f at Nottingham on her debut in this code. Sharp Suited never troubled the winner when third of five over 1m2f at Newcastle last month and Brighton Pier is preferred on his fourth over today’s trip at Brighton. SILVERBROOK has been kept in training having finished runner-up at Chelmsford on his debut way back in 2017 with all four of those behind subsequently winning. He’s been gelded since and any strong support on his return to action would boost confidence in Charlie Appleby’s charge.
