Verdict
G'daay won easily at Lingfield last week but the handicapper has taken no chances and raised him 9lb. BEAUTY CHOICE is preferred as he’ll find this easier than when third at Newmarket and is back on a winning mark. Damaar also raced at Newmarket last time though never figured under today’s apprentice but Take A Stand finished ahead of Handel and Global Warning when fourth at Lingfield and could get involved.
