Beau Sancy can maintain his unbeaten status and confirm his superiority over Lansdown and see off Just Dust in the process. The last named posted a respectable effort to win at Brighton earlier in the month and has showed a likable attitude. He already looks professional and can make this a good test if he has thrived since. Lansdown has been consistent in her races and, from the bottom of the weights has to be respected on these terms. However, she was no match for the selection at Redcar and comes here with a little bit to prove. Therefore, we stick with Beau Sancy, who was a real eye-catcher on his introduction and this half-brother to Funfair Wayne is strongly fancied to cope with this latest test of his abilities.
