The veteran BECKERMET returned to winning ways over 6f here last month and has gone close again since over today's trip. Beaten less than a length in better company last time, Ruth Carr's charge can take advantage of this drop in class. Doncaster winner Music Festival is another dropping down in grade and should figure along with Berbice, who was runner-up at Musselburgh recently with Shunkawakhan, Hellbender and Balance On Time behind. It's hard to make case for any of the remainder.
