BEHOLDEN was surprisingly beaten under a penalty at Newton Abbot having won earlier at the Devon track but this looks a weaker contest and Mick Channon’s charge can recoup losses and confirm running with Presenting Yeats and Chaztara. Bucks Dream showed only modest form at Market Rasen but may improve for the experience.
