Verdict
None of these inspire confidence though several are looking to exploit a slide down the handicap including BROTHER IN ARMS. He won off a higher mark last year and Adam Kirby’s presence is a plus. Soaring Spirits, Critical Thinking and Rapid Rise are others on the slide while Tigerfish won off a higher mark at Brighton during the summer. D'waterside was beaten only a length when fourth at Wolverhampton last time and Locommotion was beaten the same distance despite finishing only fifth here last month.
