This looks a good opportunity for BRENIN TARAN who is nominated to get the better of Master Lightfoot and Cat Patrol. David Simcock's string are in decent form at present and this colt won comfortably to justify his short price last time. He looks quite useful and he should be up landing this before going on to bigger and better things. Master Lightfoot is a speedy type and he pulled too hard last time when finishing fourth behind Enderby Spirit at Nottingham. He should go well but the form of Walter Swinburn's stable is a slight cause for concern. Cat Patrol has been in good form of late but this drop in trip is not sure to play to her strengths as her best two runs have been over 6f. Misty Gale has a penalty and a poor draw to overcome here so this filly looks opposable and we will stick with Brenin Taran as the pick.
