FormscanBy Tom Weekes - BRANDT has been running well in Ireland this summer and although a lazy type, is ideally suited by this stamina test. He failed to capitalise on a lower hurdles rating at Down Royal last month but did, eventually, finish that race quite well, suggesting this extra distance will suit. Previously he was an unlucky loser of a Sligo chase and is helped by good ground. Malinas Glory has been raised 6lb for a recent course win but again has good ground and a staying distance in his favour. Walk In Time ran well on chase debut over course-and-distance last month, with that race's winner scoring subsequently. She debuts in a handicap chase and stays well.
