Race preview
This course brought the best out of BELGARUM when he won here in June and that proven ability to handle the figure-of-eight layout will be a handy asset. Hampered and unseated at the first at Newton Abbot, his latest effort can easily be forgotten and a more accomplished performance is expected. Barrakhov has been in good form, although the drop in trip might not be ideal. Therefore, Invictus De Brion is suggested as better value for the forecast now he is back up in distance for his chasing bow.
