Verdict

Guaracha could be interesting making his handicap debut and having his first run on Turf but we'll take EL BEAU to make a winning reappearance. He won over 1m on soft ground at Ayr in October after a frustrating run of placed efforts and that suggests this longer trip won't be a problem this year. It may be too soon to write off Inevitable while Newgate Queen won over 1m4f at Doncaster so she should be pegging these back in the closing stages. Shankly won on debut at Salisbury last year and contested a Group 1 at Saint-Cloud. But finished tailed off there and again at Newbury on his reappearance.
