The lightly-raced Bowsers Brave has improved with every start this season and ran out a convincing winner over a shorter trip at Leicester last time. He should stay today's distance though the handicapper has taken no chances and raised him 9lb. It also looks like the handicapper overreacted to THE BELLS O PEOVER's win at Chepstow in May by raising him 15lb. He's had to tumble back down the weights to get his head back in front, but did so in good style at Beverley last week and can follow-up here. Kian's Delight and Brasingaman Eric have been in winning form in lower grade contests but will find this tougher and top weight George Adamson makes more appeal.
