Verdict

Brain Power was a beneficiary of the frantic pace that was set by Petit Mouchoir and Saint Calvados in the Arkle last month, managing to come through and take second spot from the former. There are still a few questions over his jumping however and CYRNAME could have his measure today. The form of his Scilly Isles Novices' Chase second was boosted at Cheltenham and, with a smooth Kempton success since and the benefit of skipping the Cotswolds last month, he may take some stopping. The mare Rene's Girl is a sound jumper and cannot be discounted getting weight.
