Lincoln Park landed a double when scoring over 7f at Haydock but is upped in class off a higher mark. Beat Le Bon went close in the Two-Year-Old Trophy over 6f at Redcar last time and stays this far while CONSTANT has also been competing over 6f since scoring over today’s trip at Yarmouth in August. Karl Burke’s colt may prove good enough in a tight contest now handicapping with the remaining trio all stepping up in distance. Quarry Beach improves with every run and is preferred to Heroic but Happy Power went close again under a penalty at Hamilton having won at the same track earlier and looks the most likely to last home.
