Verdict
None of these inspire confidence and that includes Keene's Pointe, a runner-up here the last twice but well beaten on both occasions. Salvatore Fury was placed over 5f here last time but last won on Turf in 2014 and a chance is taken on GOLD BEAU returning to form. Three times a winner over track and trip, he’s won off higher marks before and is at his best on fast ground. Inexes remains unexposed but drops down to 6f for the first time and the rest are even harder to fancy on recent form.
