Verdict
Bramble Brook has been creeping up the weights again without winning and looks worth taking on. TRIPLE CHIEF has placed five times in a row off his current mark so wouldn’t need to improve much to take this. Royal Plaza is back on a winning mark but has shown little in two runs this year but Field Exhibition won off today’s mark over hurdles in February and may well have benefited from a break.
