The remainder of the card moves on the Polytrack course but JUST BECAUSE gets only a token vote in a poor seller. He scored at Chelmsford before finishing tailed off at Windsor last time. Beach Walker has a chance at the weights but has yet to beat another horse in three starts this year and Kachou is preferred stepping up in trip with headgear applied for the first time. The remainder are even harder to recommend on these terms with Smugglers Lane perhaps the best of them.
