        Verdict

        BREWING included a couple of course victories when winning all three starts on the all-weather last year. He was upped trip for his reappearance back in April and gets the vote despite the absence. Zip won on this card at Doncaster last year and scored over 7f at the same track a fortnight ago while Gisburn beat Monsieur Kodi a head at Goodwood before beaten at Kempton. Gweedore finished in front of Bielsa when placed at York but has yet to win on the all-weather.
