Verdict
Beau Warrior bids for a track five-timer having impressed over 6f last time when she had the favourite KAFU 2l behind. The latter would have needed the run more and was conceding 5lb so tonight's terms can see him take his revenge and land this nice prize. Festina Plente didn't quite get the run of the race in fifth in that latter event though wasn't beaten far on her first start since October. Major Reward landed a maiden on his debut here in September and got no sort of run on a return visit last month though looks to have a bit to find at the weights while Wicklow Gale would be a shock winner.
