In depth
Verdict
Chasing Love has placed at Lingfield though that was back in March. Those with more recent form look a moderate bunch and Victoria Falls may prove best of those but this can go to a newcomer and BREWING makes more appeal than Gun Salute. The latter is related to four winners but the former has already been gelded and is taken to make a winning debut for the in-form Haggas yard.
