Verdict
Another potentially-informative contest but Brewers Project is probably best watched having a first run since beating the useful Umbrigado in a point in March of last year. Another winning pointer, It Sure Is, also has an absence to overcome as does bumper winner and stablemate Grand Mogul. Shan Blue was a beaten favourite at Wetherby but finished well clear of the third and Faustinovick is also bidding to recoup losses having failed to land the odds at Carlisle. SEVARANO split a couple of smart performers when only beaten a neck in the opener on this card 12 months ago. He finally got off the mark at Chepstow on his reappearance and is fancied to defy his penalty here. Do Wanna Know also carries 5lb extra and he’ll need to improve on his Huntingdon victory to figure, though that form has been franked.
