Verdict

Beau Nash, Osprey View and Impress are the ones to consider here, with the enigmatic Beau Nash getting the vote to score again. Impress did just that when finishing a close second at Newbury two outings ago, but was then a disappointment last time. He clearly has ability, and if reverting to his Newbury form he can hit the frame here. Osprey View, a winner in Ireland, ran his best race in this country when chasing home General Smith at Worcester. Tony McCoy has been booked and the combination will be hard to beat. Beau Nash is rated in the high 80s on the Flat, but has taken some time to get to grips with the hurdling game. However, he won in good style at Huntingdon last time, and that form was given a boost at Towcester on Tuesday evening. Beau Nash can score again in an interesting contest.
