In depth

Verdict

Brabazon has been well beaten over timber since landing a double on the Polytrack in February. He's 4lb higher today which is not insurmountable but he does have to reverse December's C&D form with the improving MOTIRANI. The latter just failed to peg back Coda Agency, who has won again since, at Lingfield last time and there looks more to come over today's trip from Lydia Pearce's charge. The remainder don't inspire much confidence though Court Wing won over 1m6f at Yarmouth in October and could figure on her return.
