Charles De Mille looks to be getting his act together at last with a couple of recent placed efforts at Catterick. He had It's A Mans World behind last time and should be thereabouts along with Emeralds Spirit. The latter won't have to improve much on his reappearance run at Ayr to figure in this but the vote goes to BRAVE BATTLE. He also ran really well on his first start since September when third to Fieldgunner Kirkup at Newcastle and this looks much easier. Horatio Carter has been in decent form at Southwell and could prove best of the rest.
