Verdict

The Brothers ran well in testing conditions at Wincanton last time but this better ground is a concern and preference is for TEMPLIER. After posting two eye-catching efforts in handicaps the last twice he appears to have turned a corner and this could be a good opportunity to get off the mark given a lot of these have a couple of questions to answer. Gary Moore's other runner Le Capricieux could be best of the rest.
  1. Templier
  2. The Brothers
  3. Le Capricieux
