THE TIMEFORM VIEW
BRAVE EMPIRE cost plenty as a yearling and showed a good attitude when winning at Windsor last time, so looks capable of defying a penalty here Blue Point colt Indivar also showed promise amidst inexperience on his debut at Ayr, with Destiny Maker most appealing of the newcomers.

THE TIMEFORM VIEW
MARBUZET was a dual winner last season and seems to be running himself back into form, so is fancied to build on his recent Leicester third and notch his first win of the year Mirrie Dancers and Pound Off You both made successful returns from notable absences last time and are most feared if they are able to replicate those efforts here
