oddschecker Verdict
NEVER SO BRAVE has yet to show his best form this year but there have been excuses for his two defeats. The five-year-old won the City Of York over C&D in August and it would be no surprise to see him bounce back to form at this venue. Saber Strike was well backed when sixth in the Jersey a week ago and it is far too soon to be writing off the unexposed colt. Cases can be made for all of the remainder, but Chicago Critic is arguably the pick of them.
Prediction: 1st Never So Brave, 2nd Saber Strike, 3rd Chicago Critic
