Cauthen has the most recent winning form with a victory over 7f though earlier attempts over today’s longer trip fail to boost confidence so a chance is taken on the returning BRAINS. The latter hasn’t raced since successful over track and trip back in January but this isn’t a strong handicap and Jamie Osborne’s charge should have improved further in the interim. Cashel slips further down the weights having finished closer at Chelsmford last time while Takeonefortheteam won off a similar mark here back in April. Glamorous Crescent looks best of the rest.
