Bramante is a progressive type who scored over the C&D before running very well from a 9lb higher mark where he would have finished closer but for being impeded. View From The Top was just over 4l behind him when totally unfancied and under tonight's terms has a good chance of reversing the form. Captain Henry has run moderately since his victory here in November and he'll need to improve but FIRST FRIDAY looks the one to be on. Paul Hennessy's charge has been gradually improving since sent to race here and was unfortunate to be caught in the shadow of the post by the prolific Mutasareb a fortnight ago.
