Connyella is 8lbs higher than when placed last time and may just find that stopping her, so BEAU MICHAEL looks the one to beat. A smart sort over obstacles, his last flat run in April came in a fair handicap and off this mark he took second. That day conditions were quick but this yielding ground will be more to his liking and his chance is clear. Lynott looked in the grip of the handicapper last time so a bigger threat at a price could be Akinspirit, who returns to an appropriate trip and showed last year that he's capable of winning races. Lucky Larkin needs blinkers to inspire while Frutti Tutti's wins have all come without the tongue-tie that's on today so she too is best watched.
