Beeno has rattled up a hat-trick at Cartmel this summer and beat Captain Brown out of sight last time. But a 14lb rise puts him within 3lb of MIRSAALE (NAP), who is a useful handicapper. Keith Dalgleish’s charge has only won at Perth so far over hurdles but gives the impression he’ll enjoy this stiffer course. Master Of Finance ran well reverting to hurdles at Sedgefield and has a solid chance at the weights while Prince Khurram has been enjoying himself in lesser company, though is probably too high in the handicap now.
