In depth

Verdict

Kastani Beach is 5lb higher than when scoring in a much lower grade over course and distance three weeks ago. No Substitute still has plenty to prove but Suerte Al Salto has been largely consistent over 2m, though needs some help from the handicapper. Roger Beantown could probably also do with dropping a few pounds but has been placed three times at this level. DE BLACKSMITH has been second twice over course and distance this season and looks well up to winning one of these. He appeared to find 3m too far at Newbury last time.
