Brunhilde heads this small field on a narrow ratings edge over Last Verse and Robusto, and over fourteen furlongs on the Wolverhampton all-weather surface she has the profile to see out this stamina test better than most. Last Verse, three pounds behind, represents the most pressing threat and cannot be dismissed lightly, while Robusto is only a pound further back and must also be respected in what looks a genuinely competitive four-runner affair. Confidence is modest given how closely matched the principals are, but on balance Brunhilde is taken to justify her narrow advantage at the head of the ratings, and she is our selection.
