Verdict

Brady has been impressive on his two starts to date but it will be no easy task for Donald McCain's gelding to give weight away to all his rivals. FOUNDRY SQUARE was well backed on his debut at Newton Abbot where he found just the one too good. A prolific winner in point-to-points, the six-year-old had been the subject of market interest prior to a scheduled run at Worcester and we will take the hint. Inch Rover was behind Brady when they met at Uttoxeter and Charlie Longsdon will be hoping that the very different ground conditions can make for a reverse. Langley House shaped with some promise in a couple of bumpers where soft ground has prevailed, whilst Little London is noted in the market as Sue Smith had a 33% strike rate with her runners at the track last season.
