Verdict
BROTHER IN ARMS has obvious claims given he won an apprentices’ handicap at Kempton last week and escapes a penalty. There should be more to come from him and Tony Carroll’s charge is preferred to No Not Again. The latter drops back in trip after placed efforts over a mile while though Coverham was third over 6f at Redcar that was back in September. Silver Mist makes her handicap debut on her reappearance but Celerity has plenty to find with the selection on latest running.
