Verdict

BRUTALAB (NAP), who has winning form on soft going, will be fancied to give Tim Easterby and Ella McCain a quick double as the gelding escapes a penalty for winning over an extended mile at Hamilton last week and is even better over this trip. Good Time Charlie has yet to win but has placed on Turf and the all-weather and could make the frame again if he handles conditions. Petit Bay’s latest run was over 1m4f but he is progressing nicely and a case can also be made for Bartimaeus for each-way purposes. Lady Of York and Famous Dynasty head the remainder.
