Verdict
The 7f winner Brunel Charm has a bit to prove over this far while maiden winner Flyawaydream came up short here on his handicap debut. Be Lucky My Son has a shout in first-time blinkers and Lila Girl rattled-up a hat-trick over 7f here before upped in class at Kempton. But FAR AWAY THOUGHTS also faced a tougher task in Class 2 company at Chester last time so gets another chance chance back on the Polytrack having been gelded subsequently.
