Verdict
PERFECT PLAY was caught close home when attempting to make all at Beverley on his reappearance. He looks the one to side with if Franny Norton is allowed to set his own pace up front again. Look Back Smiling finished second of four runners in heavy going at Nottingham but the less-exposed Orange Martini drops in class representing last year’s winning yard and looks a bigger threat. Playactor makes his handicap debut and is preferred of the rest.
