    Verdict

    BEAUCHAMP ACE might have the beating of Crafty Choice on a line through Windsor scorer Heartbreak Hero. Paul Fitzsimon's youngster is sure to be suited by the step up in trip so gets the nod with the Hannon colt failing to justify market support at Salisbury on his latest start. Grand Spirit and the filly Natural Charm should have more to offer but neither showed much on debut.
