Verdict
The Brothers finished in front of The Mighty Ash when third over a longer trip here last time while both Everlanes and Desiremoi D'Authie were placed in higher grade contests over today’s distance on their respective latest starts. Shaw's Cross came good over timber at Sandown recently and Lightly Squeeze will likely improve for last month’s debut for Harry Fry when fourth at Exeter. But SOUTHFIELD TORR goes handicapping for the first time having gone close in novice company at Taunton when finishing a distance clear of the rest and Paul Nicholls’ grey is taken to open his account.
