BRAVO BRAVO is still at the right end of the handicap and with his trainer having a knack of campaigning stayers from very low base marks, we are happy to stick with Mick Channon's charge until his winning run comes to an end. Albeed has improved for the switch to extreme trips and on breeding she should not really have too much to fear with the likely ground conditions. Any Given Moment stayed on strongly at FFos Las and Martin Lane's 3lb claim will be invaluable come the finish. Zabeel Palace is better known over jumps these days but the market has to be watched closely on a return to the level. Sir Walter Raleigh is certainly a rare sort for Sir Michael Stoute although the step up in trip appears to be more in hope than anticipation. Fuzzypeg bids for a hattrick at Yarmouth and it would a brave man to discount James Fanshawe's filly entirely.
