Beau Nash is hard to oppose here with Eleazar and Hello It's Me rating the main dangers. The selection won very easily last time out when beating Orpsey View and although rising in the weights he still looks ahead of the handicaper and he is hard to oppose. Eleazar rates the main danger as he won well last time out when beating Loulou Nivernais but this looks much more competitive and he looks vulnerable under his penalty. Hello It's Me looks weighted up to his best but could improve for the fitting of first time blinkers. Markington and Island Light are others that will like conditions but they look vulnerable to a well handicaped type and for the winner we return to the progressive Beau Nash.
