Verdict
Black N Brew doesn't win very often and though this looks a good opportunity he's been staying on at one pace over a mile and may find this on the short side. He just holds DOONARD PRINCE and Tamujin on their run behind Alvar a week ago, though the former is better over tonight's trip and is taken to reverse the form and gain his second success over the track and trip. Wellmarked is only moderate but is handicapped to win soon though he's not well drawn this time nor is Pipers Choice, who was staying on over 6f here last time. Indigo Iris has been showing good pace before fading and is on a fair mark as is Dustland Fairytale, though the latter is returning from a long break.
