Verdict
EL BEAU defied a penalty for an earlier win over track and trip to score with plenty in hand at Sedgefield last time. He's worth sticking with in this. Listowel winner Celtic Artisan failed to cope penalised 7lb at Catterick last month and it remains to be seen how Cooking Fat fares after popping-up at 66/1 at the same track recently. Adrakhan looks a bigger threat on his second at Warwick with Galizzi, Enzani and Superb Story, all winners on the Flat, worth keeping an eye on now hurdling for the first time.
