Racing Post verdict
Third-partyBrave Byreflection is the pick on our figures for this Class 6 seven-furlong contest at Chepstow, rated 71 and a narrow pound clear of Auburn Avenue on 70. The margin at the top is tight, and with three others matched together on 62 just behind, this looks a competitive race, so our selection is taken with only low confidence. Auburn Avenue, Prefer The Sister and Sioux Warrior are the chief dangers, all capable of running to a similar level on these figures. Brave Byreflection remains our selection.
