In depth
Verdict
Authorizo failed to complete at Cheltenham having scored at Stratford earlier while Shareef Star has failed to threaten since landing a double back in May. Begoodtoyourself failed to build on an earlier head defeat at Market Rasen when disappointing last time while The Some Dance Kid makes his chasing debut. But WAR AT SEA gave the impression this extra distance would suit when staying on for second over 2m at Perth and George Bewley’s grey gets another chance.
