In depth

Verdict

Just Once ran well in a maiden here in January and was beaten less than two lengths by a subsequent winner in a handicap at Southwell earlier this month. She’s only a pound higher today and shouldn’t be far away again. Say Nothing has twice finished in the frame over 2m4f here but TOMMIE BEAU has looked a stronger stayer in victories at Plumpton and Hexham and is fancied to complete the hat-trick. Global Agreement has placed a few times but was due to run at Stratford yesterday and this is a long way for a four-year-old.
