ISLAND BRAVE (NAP) defied a 10lb hike in the weights to win for the fourth time in five starts when successful over track and trip recently. Heather Main’s charge looked to have a bit in reserve, despite winning by only a neck, and beat Fearsome in the process. Regicide beat a subsequent winner here last month but is upped 7lb while Koeman ran well at Kempton on his return from a lay-off and can also figure. Snowy Winter may be in the handicapper's grip now but Azari is back on a winning mark and Amazing Red and Shabbah could go well if at their best on their return to action.
