BRENTFORD HOPE is a reliable, strong travelling type who ran well behind a last-time-out winner at Newbury 2 weeks ago and, providing this doesn't come too soon, he's the percentage call to resume winning ways. Horn Cape has thrived this season and will be no pushover, however, while Albert's Back could go well back over hurdles.
