Verdict
This presents Brave Dane with a good opportunity to enhance his profile and he is just preferred over Regal Gallery and the ultra-consistent Absolute Utopia, who are fancied to provide the selection with the most to do out of the rest. However, the Tony Carroll-trained Brave Dane has really got his act together since reverting to the Flat after a fruitless couple of outings over hurdles towards the end of last year. The son of Danehill landed a quick brace over course and distance at the start of last month before finding himself run out of things in a much tougher race than this last time out. The ease in grade will aid his cause today and Brave Dane is fancied to shrug off the attentions of the handicapper one more time in this company.
