Be Be King, Noboady Tells Me and Rowlands Dream look the three to conmncentrate on in this beginners cgase and the vote is given to Be Be King. The selection was afair sixth behind Halcon Gnelardais last time in a hurdle race is sure to have been well schooled for this his chasing debut and under conditions that suit he is taken to score. Noboady Tells Me rates the main danger on his latest third behind Take A Mile but that form has since been let down and at likely odds he is taken on. Rowlands Dream is another that could go well on his latest second behind Chamos Royal but the suspicion is he will be seen to better effect in handicaps. Of the remainder Molostiep is from a yard in form but his overall profile leaves him with a little to find and with this in mind for the winner we return to the progressive Be Be King who is taken to win this before going on to better things.
