In depth
Verdict
Brush A King was in good from when last seen and has to be respected but the absence from the track since August is of concern and preference is for Darab, who gets the vote ahead of stablemate Omni Cosmo Touch. The last mentioned reverts to hurdles having disappointed over fences recently and is potentially well treated. Positive Profile also reverts to the smaller obstacles having failed to take to fences this term. Another former chaser Stamparland Hill is well treated on his best form and lost no caste in defeat behind Ipledgeallegiance at Catterick last time. However, Malcolm Jefferson's gelding has yet to prove that he stays this trip and a bigger threat may come from Lanzlo, who receives weight all round but has gone up 5lbs for his recent second behind Nolife at Musselburgh. The selection then is Darab. Sue Smith's gelding is only a novice but the form of his success here last time reads well and the five-year-old is potentially well treated on a mark of 106.
