Verdict
Brave Knight will need to settle better than at Newbury but has been staying on over shorter. Cool Party has been gelded since last seen but he’s disappointed this year and handicap debutant Nothing To Sea makes more appeal having won his maiden at Newbury with something to spare. Another Run remains winless but is seeking to give his trainer a third win in this race in succession. Despite racing apart from the others, HIDDEN STORY was only headed close home over 1m4f at Newmarket last time and could recoup losses here if plotting a more straightforward route to the winning post.
