In depth

Verdict

Braes Of Lochalsh has a rare run away from his beloved Ayr and might not be suited by this sharper track. Something Brewing seems best on Tapeta but The Last Debutante is an interesting contender. She’s been lightly campaigned for a Johnston inmate and there is a good chance of further progress now tackling 2m. BODACIOUS NAME is a bit one-paced and still 14lb higher than for his only victory but he is one who will have appreciated recent rain and he wouldn’t need to improve much on a recent second at Nottingham to be competitive. Adrakhan is the only course and distance winner in the line-up so can’t be ignored.
