BRUSSELS has made a promising start to his career, successful on debut before shaping better than the result when fourth in a Group 2 at Newmarket last time, so he is taken to resume winning ways as he goes up in trip. Thesecretadversary has finished runner-up all 3 starts and can be thereabouts once more, with Maximum Scepticism also in the mix.
