Verdict

Astral Beau was a 50/1 chance when making a winning debut over the trip at Leicester where she led a furlong out and stayed on strongly. But she has a penalty to carry which may just hand the initiative to BELUGA GOLD, who has been a very expensive failure the last twice including when long odds-on here a fortnight ago where he was headed on the line when conceding the winner 8lb. With his stable in excellent form, Fourth Time Lucky, not beaten far in any of last year's three races, is respected while Jumhoor, who cost 100,000gns as a yearling but just 6,000gns at the sales in October, is an interesting newcomer though Danny Tudhope is on board Flame Talon.
