Race preview
Wannabe Brave won with something in hand at Wolverhampton 12 days ago and is high on the shortlist off just 4lb higher. Nevertheless, this is a deeper race and, as he has never previously raced at this venue, James Fanshawe's gelding is taken on with proven course winner SMOKEY MALONE. The selection is unexposed over this trip and carrying top-weight might not be enough to prevent a first C&D success. Easy Equation completes the shortlist.
