      Verdict

      Gurkha Brave is bidding for a hat-trick but could find it hard to defy a 7lb rise over this longer trip. KELTUS (NAP) was a disappointing favourite at Southwell last time but the better going and stiffer track should help and he’s already proven he can win at this level. Mister Spingsprong chased Keltus home last time and can do the same again.
