Verdict

BRASSINI can score here in the feature race on the card,and is preferred to Midnight Muse and Navajo Joe. The selection won't be concerned about the ground, and despite being joint top weight, still seems fairly treated for consistently being involved at the right end. It's the Millman yard's only runner of the day, and he's likely to be well supported on what seems to be his favourite track. Navajo Joe is Michael Bell's only runner, and the going shouldn't be a concern. That's the case too for Midnight Muse, but he may want further. Topazes will have supporters, but he didn't handle soft ground last time out at Haydock, so that would be a concern here. Regal Best is the most lightly raced this season, and won a lower grade handicap before struggling in much better company. You can make a case for many, but we prefer the claims of Brassini.
