Verdict

Brown Pete is usually thereabouts at this level without being good enough but it's hard to know what to expect from Garrisson, who posted a couple of woeful efforts either side of winning at Lingfield. Matraash scored at the same track last time and has a 9lb hike in the weights to contend with but Evergreen Forest goes unpenalised for winning an apprentices race at Warwick last week. Sinchiroka and Breakheart have been running well at Wolverhampton but the vote goes to recent Chepstow third BERWIN with Josh Baudains taking 7lb off his back today. Bridge That Gap and Bold Cross are others with a shout.
