Verdict

BRAES OF DOUNE gained his breakthrough success at Ayr last time and with that form working out well he is fancied to follow up with his stamina also proven over this longer trip. Spirit of Ash could emerge as the chief threat, especially if not giving away too much ground at the start this time, with the in-form Odd Venture another who should be in the mix.
