Verdict

BRUNEL CHARM bounced back to form with the blinkers left off when finishing runner-up at Kempton last month, so Lee Carter's relatively new recruit gets the nod to go one better and snap a losing streak closing in on a couple of years. Smart Deal ran a cracker when edged out over 1m here recently, so he heads up the opposition, with Got No Dollars and Cue's Bow also fancied to go well.

  1. BRUNEL CHARM
  2. SMART DEAL
  3. GOT NO DOLLARS (IRE)
