BRAES OF DOUNE (4) resumes from a spell of seven months after closing off last preparation with three consecutive minor placings. Commendable record at this trip with a win and five minor placings and is a leading contender. MARINER (1) ran below expectations last time at Wolverhampton, finishing sixth and beaten 2.75 lengths. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. KING OF SPEED (2) made considerable ground in the run home to finish third last start over 1600m at Bath. Likely to feature. BERKSHIRE PHANTOM (3) has been in the market at his last couple of starts but hasn't made an impression, last start finishing fifth over 1400m at Wolverhampton. Well-placed and can sneak into the finish.
