      Verdict

      BEACHFIRE is improving with experience and was just beaten over a longer trip at Huntingdon under a penalty last time. He can get back to winning ways here at the main expense of Uttoxeter runner-up No No Mac as Zamdy Man, who had form in better races last season, hails from a stable that's yet to strike form this season and the four-year-old may need this. Couldhavehaditall won a Wetherby bumper in April and has plenty of scope but is another from a yard going through a bit of a lean spell at present.
