Verdict

BEBRAVEFORGLORY is fancied to quickly resume winning ways given this shorter trip should suit and he has been eased 1 lb in the weights. Magnificent Ben rates the chief threat on the back of his good Lingfield second while the returning Ambion Hill is another to consider for the Tizzard team.
