Naburn finished third in last year's renewal but is 5lb higher today. He was still well beaten when third at Ripon last time with Sergeant Pink and Jan Smuts even further behind. Mason Hindmarsh was beaten a long way in this last term though showed signs of a resurgence at Musselburgh earlier this month. But he's too unreliable to have much confidence in and a chance is taken on BEAT THE TIDE lasting home. A winner over 1m5f at Ayr, he can race off the same mark today and is preferred to the lightly-raced Dan Emmett.
