Ralph Beckett’s runners boast an excellent strike-rate on this course and POYLE CHARLOTTE (NAP) is his only runner on the card tonight. She’s made steady progress this summer, getting off the mark at Doncaster a couple of weeks ago, and first-time cheekpieces could be enough incentive to overcome a further 3lb rise. Rippling Waters has gone close on a couple of occasions, most recently at Bath on Wednesday, but may find one too good again. Summerseat Mist has won at Wolverhampton but she’s 0-7 on Turf and Love And Be Loved might need this. Imperial Act appears to have plenty to find.
