A winner at Beverley last month, Mon Beau Visage went close again over a mile here last week but DEANSGATE is just preferred. Julie Camacho’s charge finished runner-up over 7f at Redcar on his latest outing and the third has subsequently won. Iceaxe won in soft ground at Thirsk on her penultimate start while the likes of Epeius and Never In Doubt are getting closer as they slip down the weights but Willsy and Inaam look stuck off their current marks.
