      In depth

      Verdict

      Beauchamp Twist gets the confident vote here with John Forbes and Along The Nile rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair fourth behind Bulwark last time in a better race. This shorter trip is sure to suit and from a good draw he will be hard to beat. John Forbes rates the main danger on his latest fourth behind Killena Boy as he was doing all his best work at the finish and is sure to appreciate this longer distance. Along The Nile is another worthy of respect on his latest fourth behind Spining Coin but he has yet to conclusively prove he stays this far and for that reason he is opposed. Of the remainder , Last Pioneer is from a yard in form and with the booking of Robert Winston catching the eye he should be noted in the market but for the winner we return to Beauchamp Twist.
