In depth
Verdict
BEAUZON (NAP) won here last month and placed in a higher grade at Lingfield last time when finishing in front of Starsong. David O’Meara’s charge can come out best in this company. Bluebells Boy disappointed on his handicap bow having won a maiden here before that while Mustaffiz is creeping a bit closer as he slides down the weights and finished ahead of Desert Boots when fifth here. Sir Rodneyredblood won this in 2021 and pops-up when the mood takes him.
