This is not a particular strong maiden so Richard Hannon's newcomer Harry Beau is worth a market check, though he's sprint-bred so there is a slight stamina doubt. ARZAAK failed to quicken when collared by Chaplin over 6f here earlier in the month so maybe the extra furlong will help. He gets the nod as Our Boy's future surely lines in handicaps. King Of Paris must have been showing something at home before his Nottingham debut two weeks ago as he started favourite. However, he found little when push came to shove and more will be needed.
