An ordinary seller kicks off proceedings at Beverley and it is obviously a race to treat with caution. North landing, Regimental Dance and Ultra marine are all worthy of consideration but a tentative vote goes to Victory Sign, who at least has experience of racing over this sort of trip. He represents a yard that do well in races of this nature and will not have too much to find in conceding weight away all round. His effort behind a Sir Mark Prescott-trained hot-pot at Hamilton last time reads well in the context of this race and Victory Sign can score here if putting in a similar effort today.
