Brother Bennett won over these hurdles last month when getting his head in front at the line and is 4lb higher. Kalaskadesemilley posted one of his better efforts at Leicester in December but has yet to win a handicap but Austin Friars won here when last over jumps and is also preferred to Gin And Tonic, who has struggled since scoring at Fakenham at the end of last year. But BRIAC (NAP) has had a spin on the Flat since placing in better company at Sandown in March and racing off the same mark today, he get the vote.
