Full Ov Beans loves it around here and is bidding for a fifth course victory. But he probably has a bit to prove in this higher grade off his new mark. Southway Star's winning run came to end at Plumpton at the start of the month and he has another 5lb to carry but My Oh Mount Brown looked to be on the way back at Warwick and Billy Twyford will have learned plenty from his fourth at Wetherby. Old Dashing George is still capable on his day but NOBLE LEGEND (NAP) is unquestionably well treated nowadays and, despite pulling up at Newbury last time, can take advantage of that fact today.
