Verdict

AL MAYSAN showed his inexperience at Chelmsford on his recent debut but the penny dropped in the closing stages and he picked-up nicely to come home in front. The Godolphin colt can defy a penalty with normal progress. Beechwood Jim Bob has been thereabouts in both outings so far including over track and trip last time while Golden Sandbanks showed improvement over 7f here and looks sure to appreciate the extra distance. Historical is harder to recommend while the newcomer Queen Of Camelot has a middle-distance pedigree.
