A typical Beverley sprint with an open feel in which Flash City has been right back to form on his last two starts, especially when running into the useful Rainbow Orse last time. A fallow period of form has seen a significant drop in his rating and he should deliver a competitive run with form returned. Maureb has a definite claim after bouncing back with a Carlisle win this month, but another recent Carlisle scorer, THE NAZCA LINES, makes plenty of appeal too off just a 3lb higher mark for his latest success and is one of the few here who could improve appreciably. Bronze Beau, Jack Luey, Classic Pursuit and Crosse Fire are just a selection who could also get involved in this competitive affair.
