Verdict
Only 3lb separates this bunch at the weights but BEAU GESTE has been in the mix since landing a double here back in February and may prove the one to side with. Recuerdame and Amor Fati scored off lower marks here in October while Carey Street placed over track and trip on his penultimate start and has recently switched yards. The King's Steed had Silver Cliffs back in third when scoring over 7f at Salisbury last month and the latter debuts on the all-weather.
