Crocodile Power had Eye Of The Water back in third when successful over track and trip in November while Swiss Rowe won here before finishing runner-up off today’s mark. But BRAVE DISPLAY returned a convincing winner over course and distance last week and is due to be raised by more than today’s 4lb extra. He gets the vote to confirm running with second-placed Desert Dream and go in again.
