Shalambar needs further to show his best and REACH THE BEACH is preferred over today's trip. Brendan Powell's charge has gone close on a couple of occasions since winning at Ffos Las in August and also makes more appeal than Hallouella. The latter was placed at Brighton on her penultimate start but Novel Dancer has been well beaten since scoring over track and trip during the summer.
