Ralph Beckett runs three with MANUELA DE VEGA (NAP) making most appeal. She won the Group 3 Pinnacle Stakes here last month when beating subsequent Group 2 winner Fanny Logan and that looks stronger form than stablemate Antonia De Vega’s Listed win at Pontefract when Makawee finished behind. Hereby is the third of the Beckett runners though has plenty to find on these terms while Cabaletta came up short at Newbury on her comeback but this extra distance will suit and she’ll handle the going. Spirit Of Appin won a Group 3 at Newmarket on last summer but faces a tough task on her reappearance.
