Verdict
Breguet Man is getting closer in handicaps but drops back down in trip today and Bravo Faisal is preferred making his handicap debut representing last year’s winning trainer. But ST IVES won a maiden over today’s distance at Doncaster last month and he gets the vote to show further progress now handicapping given William Haggas boasts an impressive strike rate with his yard’s two-year-old runners here.
