Verdict

Denable finished in front of Beach Break when runner-up over course and distance but was subsequently beaten by Metal Man when the latter won at Lingfield. There is little between that trio and it could pay to look elsewhere with PRINCE ABU preferred. The latter won over 1m6f here last month and looks worth another try over this extra distance having gone close again in better company last time. Yasmin From York can do better back over today’s longer trip and is preferred of the rest.
