This looks something of a lottery and top weight BEYOND gets only a speculative vote. He beat five others at Salisbury in June and four of them have subsequently won - he also remains fit from hurdling. Gabrial's King went close at Chester last time and Presto Volante is another threatening to get his head in fron again. Callisto Moon scored over track and trip in May and a recent spin over timber should have brought him on while Laser Blazer beat Honourable Knight at Salisbury last month and tries 2m for the first time here. Sunny Future and Tijori both failed to land hat-tricks on their latest starts and Chapter Five was engaged to run here yesterday.
