Verdict

Beat The Heat is seeking a third win here since June so has to go on the shortlist. Sambezi won his maiden here last year and has been rested since a beaten favourite at Ffos Las in May. Tara Iti and TOMMY DILLION are closely matched on their 1-2 at Plumpton in the spring. Both are ridden by claimers today but it’s about time the latter was getting his head in front. Shaw's Cross also has a chance if fully wound-up while Milldean Felix remains open to further improvement.
