Beyeh was well supported at Southwell and came home with her head in her chest. It's no surprise to see her running with a penalty as she'll go up much more than the 7lb extra she has here. My Oh Mount Brown has gone up 13lb for his Uttoxeter victory and might well have been on a five-timer but for blundering badly at the last when beaten by Cyrien Star here earlier. He has every chance of continuing his good run but it's yet another wide-margin winner, RATTLIN, who earns the vote after his facile victory here last time for which a 10lb rise may not prevent a repeat. Vinny Gambini chases a hat-trick on his handicap debut but this is much tougher.
