Alan Persse, who rides the selection in the previous race, was on board when Duquesa Beach sprung a surprise in an apprentice race over track and trip in November and the combination can make their presence felt again. Miracles In May had been racing over hurdles before being well supported over the course and distance last month but he didn't come up to expectations unlike Neyland, who gained his second track victory when just getting up to catch Burning Lake three weeks ago with Maccliff close up in third. There's little between the trio at the revised weights though the winner has the better of the draw. RANGER BOB just failed to catch Masalai over 7f at the beginning of the month but the winner went in again next time and Colin Keane, who has plenty of chances tonight, can steer his father's charge home.
