      Verdict

      Not the strongest of races by any stretch of the imagination and Brownie Returns is handed the TEAMtalk vote. The Mouse Morris-trained gelding stays well and acts on the ground so, following a fair effort at Naas last month, shouldprove hard to beat. Favoured Option ran well when second over this trip at Huntingdon last time and is respected off the same mark. Bruthuinne now looks high enough in the weights after recent wins and would have been suited by better ground so the in-form Flora Muck, who makes her chasing debut, may prove a bigger danger.
