GRAND BEAUTY will never get a better chance to break her duck. She doesn't find a great deal off the bridle but won't need to in this as she has at least 30lb in hand on those of her rivals who have earned a handicap mark. Belle Nellie has already 12 starts and was still beaten almost nine lengths when third here last time and a bigger danger may be the unexposed Malvia, who is sure to have benefited from his reappearance at Newmarket in June.
