The have been some well made plans drawn up for Beauteous in the last fortnight and the gelding has responded gamely with two wins from four starts since 11 April. However, the manner in which he romped to victory at Wolverhampton on Monday suggests that he has not finished his wining spree yet and he is confidently selected again now that he has shown he has got what it takes to win over this trip. Tiny Tim, although he has no easy task at the weights, has some fair form at the trip and is preferred over Sennen Cove as the main danger to the selection - although it will be no surprise to see Darryll Holland try and drag the best out of Divina now that she is tried back over a mile again. However, he will have to work wonders to trouble Beauteous, who is taken to coast home on the wave he is cresting at the moment.
