This looks between the three recent course winners. But Fiftyshadesfreed has been raised 12lb for his latest win and steps up a couple of grades. Instant Attraction scored over 7f here a fortnight ago but was less than convincing in previous attempts at a mile so the vote goes to POSTSCRIPT (NAP). He's up 4lb for winning over track and trip last month but has won off higher marks in the past. Kimbali may prove best of the rest on his second at Beverley during the week.
