In depth

Verdict

Beach Bar has found his form, beating Geological narrowly over the trip before just failing behind Captain Joy over a mile. Geological is also closely matched with Togoville on earlier form while Ishebayorgrey continues to run well and will be difficult to keep out of the frame. Dandys Gold has never run here but has won from higher marks on Turf so has to be respected as does JON ESS and it's the latter who gets the nod in a tricky handicap. A course and distance winner last May, he performed well over a mile here in the autumn and, though returning from a break, started his career with a short-head defeat a year ago so should be ready.
