Verdict
Mon Brav won last year's inaugural running off a similar mark and is one of many with claims. Cool Bahamian is upped only 2lb for winning at Newmarket but Soul Brother carries 6lb extra for his win at Pontefract last time. Crew Cut arrives in good form having found only one too good on his latest start as did Flexible Flyer, Absolute Champion and JAN VAN HOOF. The latter finished ahead of Ambitious Icarus when beaten only a nose at Pontefract last week and is taken to reverse earlier running with Cool Bahamian to land this. Sir Billy Wright landed a double at Ffos Las earlier and is at home in this grade.
