Verdict

There should be plenty more to come from BROOKSIDE LA this season and in receipt of weight all round, he looks the way to go after an impressive performance at Worcester. Charisma Cat and The Cistercian are feared most.

5	Steadily progressive during his novice season and he took a sizeable step forward when making a winning reappearance at Worcester (2½m, good to soft) 35 days ago, staying on well. Remains unexposed at this sort of trip and easing ground won't hold any fears. Lots to like. 1st Pick 5 Brookside La (Ire) Jockey: Harry Skelton Trainer: Dan Skelton J: Harry Skelton T: Dan Skelton	100	-	-	-	31%	9/4

3	Left Irish form behind when making a winning start for Stuart Edmunds in 2m Leicester maiden hurdle on heavy in December. Placed all 3 completed starts to end the season, better than ever when second at Hexham in March.
