Verdict
Lion Beacon won over 1m6f at Goodwood in between a couple of poor efforts and Sir Frank Morgan also has two ways of running. He can figure if producing one of his better attempts but though Perfect Summer went close at Haydock last time, she is now 9lb higher than her win at Doncaster. See And Be Seen did well again at York recently and should run her usual solid race but DEFICIT will have come on for his belated seasonal debut and was only beaten a nose off a higher mark in October. Richard Hughes' presence suggests he'll be at his best for this and he gets the nod.
