In depth
Verdict
A poor bunch here and recent winner Fuss looks capable of following up, Oops and Brennie may provide most danger. Willie Jarvis's filly got the better of Oops in a similar race to this at Yarmouth last time, with Hana Dee right behind in third. Alan Munro produced her inside the final furlong and she was able to hold on with what appeared a little bit to spare. She should confirm the form with the placed horses on today's revised terms. Brennie is one that is going the right way. This ex-Irish runner put in her best performance on these shores when finishing third to Taragan at Yarmouth. She runs here off a lowly mark of 38 and could go well for each-way backers. Little Tobias is steadily dropping down the handicap and may do best of the others, but our idea of the winner is Fuss.
