Both Shypen and Beatbybeatbybeat bid for hat-tricks under a penalty. The former has been winning over 6f and the latter over a mile though both have scored over today’s trip. Curious Fox failed attempting a treble at Nottingham having landed a double at Kempton earlier while Harmony Bay and Pyla also came up short last time having won on their penultimate starts. ARIZE will need to improve again to repeat last month’s success over 7f at Wolverhampton but has been raised only 3lb and David Barron’s filly gets the vote in an open contest.
