Brownlee placed in a lower grade at Wolverhampton on his handicap debut while Diomed Spirit drops down in class for Stuart Williams’ in-form yard with an apprentice’s allowance further helping his cause. But COLNAGO may edge this handicapping for the first time having been narrowly beaten at Newcastle with a subsequent winner back in third and Karl Burke’s colt gets the vote with cheekpieces applied. Several drop back down to the minimum trip with Fierce and Tephi making most appeal of those.
