An ultra competitive 1m handicap in which the four timer seeking
Brilliant Vanguard will have to be at his very best in order to continue the winning run from the widest berth of all (stall 14). Many of these horses (most notably
Belgian Bill and
Early Morning) will appreciate a slight drop in grade and a return to the AW after contesting races such as the Royal Hunt Cup earlier in the year, whilst
Manson could feasibly out run his projected odds if back to the form of his Chelmsford third to Mustashry and Masham Star. However, the trio to concentrate upon could well be
Don't Give Up,
Brigliadoro and
BIG BAZ. The selection is becoming seriously well treated from a mark of 94 these days, having tasted success on his last attempt over C&D at Listed level in November 2015 (when rated 108).
