Verdict
BEAT LE BON appears to have frightened off most of the opposition. He’s rated 96 having been narrowly beaten in the Listed Two-Year-Old Trophy at Redcar in October and Richard Hannon’s colt has little to fear from Fortunate Move on the modest form shown by the latter so far. The newcomer Hey Ho Let's Go is the first foal of an unraced mare and will need to be well above average to get the better of the favourite, who will likely start at prohibitive odds.
