In depth

Verdict

Brother Tedd hasn’t had much racing in the last couple of years and is best watched here. Sizing Codelco may not have the pace to cope with this big drop in trip while Count Meribel has been struggling from a lack of confidence. Champagne Court is interesting eased in grade and has won off a higher mark in the past. He looks a better bet than stable companion The Russian Doyen but the novice ERITAGE (NAP) is fancied to concede weight all round racing off a lower mark than when second at Newbury in November.
