Verdict
BEAU GESTE (NAP) has won three of his four outings since joining Tony Carroll and was beaten only a neck on the other occasion. Versatile as regards the trip, he can defy a 3lb rise in a weak handicap. Parknacilla has gone close again since scoring at Chelmsford back in September while Savitar won over track and trip last summer. Recuerdame will take advantage of a slide down the weights before long and Cashel is not badly treated on his winning form if rediscovering his best.
