Verdict

Bard Of Brittany was much-improved in this headgear when scoring in the mud at Plumpton recently. He should be fine on this slightly better ground but is perhaps going to need more under his penalty. SWILLY SUNSET was a multiple winner on the level and his recent Doncaster second was another strong hint that his turn isn't far away over hurdles. He had daylight in second spot and can take this under Kielan Woods. Say The Word needs to put a poor run behind but joins Chinwag in having place claims should he do so.
