Nothing is safely ruled out in a riddle of a race and BEAU MISTRAL is but a hopeful selection in a contest where all are struggling to post a victory. He showed his first form of note since joining Tony Carroll when a fair Brighton third behind Ecliptic Sunrise and should definitely be involved if able to build on that improved showing, especially with George Downing claiming a useful 5lb over the straight 5f. Hello Beautiful is very hard to read this season, mixing a couple of reasonable efforts with two exceptionally poor runs. Off the bottom rung, she's capable of playing a part at the business end if on a going day. Bogsnog doesn't venture away from Wolverhampton too often these days but he's worth a place on the shortlist alongside Lady Ibrox.
