A beaten favourite in three of his last four outings, Beenham is tried over an extra furlong. Woodhay Park won one of these valuable sales race on the July course here in August, with Dubai Hills and Commander Crouch fourth and fifth respectively and Cuban Slider and Drama further behind. Any further drying of the ground would play to her strengths but Grey Gray has proved best over 5f along with Lieutenant Rascal. ZOULU CHIEF (NAP) is the clear top rated having won handicaps at Windsor and York in August. His win on the Knavesmire was franked when the runner-up landed a Group 3 next time and he will have Heather Main dreaming of a big pay-day here. Great Acclaim will likely have more to offer and Midnite Runner was a ready winner at Thirsk and should have the speed for this.
