Verdict

Dunelight, Kaveri and Acheekyone have all shown a similar level of form this term and have to respected but Peter Chapple-Hyam has his string in good form right now and it may be worth taking a chance on the fitness of Beau Nash, who gets the vote. The selection was highly tried in the Horris Hill when last seen and looks potentially well treated for his debut in a handicap off a mark of just 91 now that the Chapple-Hyam yard is in better form. Jamieson Gold needs to improve on juvenile form to take a hand, while Louie Louie could probably do with some more help from the handicapper. Aamaaq was well held on his return and may need another run to put him spot on so a bigger threat is likely to come from Dunelight, who should appreciate the drop back to a mile having seemingly failed to stay 1m2f here last time. Kaveri has a nice racing weight and is entitled to be thereabouts again along with Newbury second Acheekyone but Beau Nash could be better than this class and he gets the vote in the hope that he is ready for his reappearance.
