Verdict

Yourgolftravel Com has plenty to prove after his run at Brighton last time and much of Lady Lam's chances will depend on her run at Kempton on Wednesday so it might be worth taking a chance of the potentially well treated BEAUBRAV. The Michael Madgwick gelding is 3lbs better off than when winning at Kempton last time so while he is clearly better on the all-weather he can't be ignored from this light looking weight. Yourgolftravel Com was on a consistent run of form before he was beaten out of sight off this rating on his last run. Although that is off putting if he bounces back he has every chance of getting involved. Lady Lam is on-form and ran well behind Goodbye Cash on her last run before Wednesday's entry. That was following victory so if she turns out here she will be a live contender. Vinces found just Amazing King too good last time and having beaten home a subsequent winner that day his chances are enhanced. Richard Hughes is an eye-catching jockey booking on Spiritual Art so that one should be considered but in a wide open race Beaubrav is potentially well-in.
