        Verdict

        There is not much between Little Brave and Jack Dawson on Thirsk form earlier in the month although the former may have been flattered having dictated the pace throughout. The latter gained compensation at Hamilton next time and won't be inconvenienced by the return to this longer trip. Fatehalkhair should go well after a narrow Newcastle success last time while the lightly weighted Cosmic Case is another to consider.
