Verdict

BROOKSIDE LA shaped very well considering the severity of a mistake around halfway when third at Haydock back in early-April so, provided he's ready to roll, Dan Skelton's 6-y-o can make amends despite a further 4 lb nudge. Heading up the opposition is Not At That Price, who ran his best race in maidens last time and may have more to offer now handicapping on return. Fighting Falcon and Constantinian can fight out minor honours.

4	Minor promise only in Ireland but produced a much-improved effort fitted with first-time cheekpieces when winning 12-runner handicap at Uttoxeter (2½m, good to soft) on yard debut in May.
