Verdict
BROCKLEBANK won a much better race that this at Wolverhampton four days ago when Rebellious Guest was well beaten. He has 10lb more to carry in this but Tomas Harrigan's claim takes care of most of that and Simon Dow's consistent gelding is taken to follow up. Beach Bar has his first start on Polytrack for more than a year, though is one from one at the track and would have a chance on his Turf form. Tournament won for Andre Fabre in the French provinces but is probably best watched on his first start for Seamus Durack and Sensible Way is a couple of pounds out of the handicap.
