In depth
Verdict
Sulphur Springs has been freshened up since his last run in the Charisma Gold Cup and with conditions again in his favour he will ,be hard to beat, despite rising considerably in the weights this season. Bramblehill Duke is suited by the trip and ground, but he is often let down by his jumping. Country Beau has conditions in his favour and is well weighted on his best form, but his jumping has also been a cause for concern of late.
