Verdict

BRIEF TIMES may have lost his unbeaten record on handicap debut at Wincanton back in January but he still emerged with plenty of credit in finishing second. Upped significantly in distance here, Neil Mulholland's charge gets the verdict to resume winning ways. Press Your Luck ran out a decisive winner last time so he's fancied to be in the mix, along with Solo and Dorking Boy.
