Verdict

Smokin Beau gave smoking fingers to the odds-on punters at Newmarket last time out over 5f and with that appearing his better trip these days, we take a look elsewhere. Kier Park has not achieved all that was anticipated by the Jarvis team but with the ground is in his favour today, he is made the TEAMtalk selection. The selection haswinning form over six furlongs and if he doesn't pull too hard in the early stages, a reproduction of his second to Tedburrow at Haydock would suffice in this company. Spencers Wood is visored for the first time and would not be inconvenienced by any further rain. Peter Makin's charge is probably better over seven but does have winning form over six. Of the remainder, Seven No Trumps would be better served by a bigger field while Dancing Mystery has not run over this trip for quite some time.
