Verdict

Promising winning pointer BROOKSWAY FAIR failed to justify heavy support on his chasing bow at Ludlow but is well worth another chance in a race where plenty have question marks against them. Gentleman's Dream looks the one to give Evan Williams' young chaser most to do, with Go As You Please expected to be in the mix too after a break.

  1. BROOKSWAY FAIR (IRE)
  2. GENTLEMAN'S DREAM (IRE)
  3. GO AS YOU PLEASE (IRE)
