In depth
Verdict
Oh So Brave gets the confident vote to send favourite backers home happy with Vitelucy and Eviyrn rating the main dangers. There selection has been in good form of late and although he was beaten by Ramblees Holly last time he will only need to reproduce that effort to win this easier affair. Vitelucy rates the main danger on his latest second behind Brush A King but he never runs two races the same and for that reason he is opposed. Eviyrn is another worthy of respect but he was well beaten in a seller last time and this looks tougher so he will need to improve to score. Of the remainder Katies Dolphin is from a shrewd yard and is worth noting in the market but she will need to improve to defeat the selection Oh So Brave.
