        Verdict

        Beardwood has definitely improved since stepping up to this trip, winning at Windsor and Redcar in recent weeks. STRONG FORCE could be anything after winning his maiden at Chelmsford last month and the second has franked the form since – a mark of 86 on his handicap debut may well turn out to be lenient. Ready was a cosy winner over this trip at Newcastle 11 days ago and Bluegrass Blues also arrives off the back of a victory. Special Season should find this easier than recent tests while Jamie Spencer will be arriving late on Masterpaver, though will need luck in-running.
