TOP BEAK has shown steady improvement this year and wasn’t hard pressed to land a novices’ handicap over track and trip at the start of the month. He’s been raised 5lb but the booking of Bryony Frost is a positive. Mawlood tries a new trip but won at Plumpton last month and Shortcross Storm was successful at Exeter. Annual Flavour would have placed at Ludlow last time had she not fallen but is now 0-13 and Presenting Yeats hasn’t been getting any closer. Dynamic Kate looks best of the rest.
