Majeski Man produced an improved effort to score at Beverley and a 4lb rise is acceptable. Laheg and Lipsink are not discounted and Bert Kibbler wins in his turn but is not the easiest to predict so BLIND BEGGAR gets the nod. The latter's strike-rate is disappointing considering his ability but a current mark of 83 looks workable.
