Deleyll has been raised 6lb for landing a lowly handicap on Polytrack at Lingfield, when Bizet was well beaten, but his trainer has been going well and a follow-up is a distinct possibility in this moderate company. Light Gunner has steadily improved and wouldn't need much more but Av A Word only scrambled home at Brighton and flopped when fancied for a follow-up on fast going at Lingfield. Beauchamp Opal has shown his best form on Polytrack so a chance is taken on BEYOND BEYOND, who is bred for this sort of trip and had the three requisite runs for a mark last season.
