Beauly, Polish Pilot and Lorient Express look the three to concentrate on in this handicap hurdle and the vote goes to Beauly. The selection was a fair fifth behind King Of Banbury last time under similar conditions and he need only reproduce that effort to score. Polish Pilot rates the main danger he was a fair third behind Dick The Taxi over fences last time out and returns to hurdles on a very lenient mark. Lorient Express is another that could go well but he still remains a maiden so is passed over on this occasion. Of the remainder Houseparty is from a shrewd yard and is worth a cautionary look in the market but for the winner we return to Beauly.
