Verdict

BRAES OF DOUNE (due to run here on Sunday) remains lightly raced for a 6-y-o and returned from a break with a good second over 1m in May. The step back up in trip rates an obvious plus and he's a lead player if turned out quickly. Highwaygrey is lurking on a very dangerous mark and is a player if putting it all together. Berry Edge, Glasses Up and We Still Believe complete the shortlist.
