The next race on the card is a competitive handicap with many holding chances but we feel GHUFA may go in again ahead of Beaubrav and Blue Eyed Louise. Ghufa was a decisive winner of a handicap at Wolverhampton eight days ago and surprisingly has not been raised by the handicapper for that success. It probably indicates that it was not the strongest race but the selection put quite a distance back to the second so we feel the handicapper has been lenient. The selection has run very well over course and distance before so everything points to a big run. Beabrav also won very nicely on his latest start at Lingfield but has gone up five pounds for that. That is fair though as the horse should have more to offer as that was his seasonal reappearance. Like the selection he too has run well on the course so a big run is expected. Blue Eyed Louise should also be monitored in the betting after returning from injury with a cracking first run. Seventh Hill he also one to note as his all weather form is vey consistent.
