Verdict

BRAVE SEASCA was much improved when winning a novice handicap at Warwick with plenty in hand on just his second start over fences last week and holds obvious claims under a penalty. Karl Philippe and Red Rookie both shaped well when runner-up on their chase bow/return and they head the dangers.

  1. BRAVE SEASCA (FR)
