Verdict

It was soft ground when the veteran LUCKY BEGGAR returned to winning ways at Thirsk. He won by three lengths on that occasion and another bold bid is expected. Guardia Svizzera showed signs of a return to form when third at Hamilton while Atyaaf placed at Newcastle having slid down the weights. David's Beauty is back on a winning mark with Sambucca Spirit another to note.
