Verdict
Zac Brown won over 6f here a fortnight ago when reversing earlier form with Kasbah. The latter had won over 6f at the track in January with ROBOT BOY behind but David Barron’s charge was having his first start since October on that occasion and went on to score over 5f at Wolverhampton when well ahead of Encore d'Or. He’s been upped 6lb for that success but has won off higher marks in the past and should go close again. Bosham has something to find with Kasbah while Monumental Man and Dynamo Walt will find life tough in this higher grade.
