Verdict

Brave Spartacus and THE NEPHEW have won four races apiece over fences and look the pair to concentrate on in this. The latter has the more recent form, scoring here in July, and can open his account over the larger obstacles. Factor Fifty was second at Cartmel last month but is only making slow progress and this is a stronger contest. Awbeg Massini has ability but will surely need this.
