Misu Pete and Darryll Holland landed a double at Wolverhampton last month but Veeraya was beaten only a head and re-opposes on better terms. Seek The Fair Land beat lower rated horses than these when picking-up a claimer at Lingfield and will find this tougher while Exalted and Blackthorn Stick were placed in lower grade contests last time. But GOLD BEAU was also placed again on his latest start when beaten less than a length in similar company and he gets another chance ahead of the returning Snappy Guest.
