In depth

Verdict

Plenty with claims in this including Firmdecisions, a winner at Goodwood before finding life tough in better company at Epsom last time. Benoni is up 4lb for his win at Sandown but that may not be enough to prevent another bold bid while Skytrain is another dropping back down to a more suitable level and he's not out of this. SECRET BEAU went close on his seasonal debut at Kempton and, given he's one of the least exposed in this contest, Ralph Beckett's charge gets the vote to find the small improvement needed to come out best.
