Verdict

BRAZEN BOLT has looked as good as ever in recent weeks, and having had a bit more of a break than those that ran at Ayr last weekend, John Quinn's gelding is fancied to follow up from his latest Thirsk success. Fellow last-time-out winner Twelfth Knight has a fine C&D record and can be in the mix again, whilst this is a less-competitive affair than is often contested by Mr Wagyu and he also merits respect after a pair of good efforts in big-field events.

  1. BRAZEN BOLT
  2. TWELFTH KNIGHT (IRE)
  3. MR WAGYU (IRE)
