Going - Soft (Good to Soft in places). 

Formscan  - Trends can play a key part in selecting the winner of the Brown Advisory and, given the past 21 winners had all contested a Graded novice chase, Bronn and Sir Gerhard can be eliminated from the list having failed to tick this stat. 23 of the past 27 winners also only spent one season hurdling, meaning both Thyme Hill and The Real Whacker come off the shortlist. Given 15 of the last 16 winners of this contest have finished first or second in a Grade 1 or 2 novice chase, the only two to meet this trend are Galia Des Liteaux and GERRI COLOMBE, with preference going to Gordon Elliott's seven-year-old. Unbeaten in all three chasing starts, including twice in Grade 1 company, he certainly fits the profile for this contest and rates the one to beat having seen off the reopposing Thunder Rock into third on his most recent outing. Although Elliott hasn't enjoyed much luck in this event, especially with Farouk d'Alene coming to grief two from home last year, it would be surprising to see his gelded son of Saddler Maker out of the picture and he is taken to extend his unbeaten record here. Galia Des Liteaux is probably feared most having bolted up in the Hampton Novices' Chase at Warwick last time out, while Adamantly Chosen adds further spice to the mix.
