In depth
Verdict
It was soft ground when Our Charlie Brown ended a long losing run at Catterick last week and Forever A Lady’s also won in soft going when successful at Ayr last month. Etikaal won over today’s trip at Yarmouth earlier but ran a shocker over track and trip last time behind fourth-placed Colour Contrast. The latter can figure once again but preference is for BE BOLD, caught in the closing stages over a mile the last twice now and looking worthy of another chance over today’s shorter distance.
