Few make any appeal and Beaufort tries his luck over further having won over 1m4f at Newcastle last time. But course regular JAN DE HEEM won an amateurs' race over track and trip last month and dropping back down in class after an outing in Class 2 company, Tina Jackson’s charge may be good enough. Miss Ranger finished closer at Redcar recently while Soft Summer Rain is the least exposed and worth noting for any support in the betting on only her second start handicapping.
