In depth
Verdict
Lysander's Quest,Beauchamp Twist and Mr Whizz are three against the field in another wide open affair and the vote is given to Beauchamp Twist. The selection was a fair second behind Bobby Kennard last time out. That form has since been franked and in a poor affair he is taken to score. Lysander's's Quest rates the main danger as he won well last time out when beating Makarim but he has a penalty for that win and that may just find him out. Mr Whizz is another worthy of respect on his best form but consistency is not his strong point. However with his young apprentice taking off a handy seven pounds he looks to be on a lenient mark and should be noted in the market. Redspin is from a yard in form and is another with place claims but he has yet to prove he stays this far and for that reason he is opposed. Of the remainder Henry Island is dropping to a handy mark and is another to note in the market but in a race that throws up more questions than answers for the winner we return to Beauchamp Twist.
