Blinkers have transformed Beachwalk, who has won his last two. He has to defy another 8lb rise but may be capable of doing so with his yard in form. Point Hope has shown his best form on the all-weather so far but Tribal Warrior wasn’t fazed by a switch to Turf at Musselburgh last month, though only won by a short-head and is 4lb higher now. Hidden Affair won over this trip at Goodwood but the form has taken a few knocks since. LOS CAMACHOS made a cracking debut on this surface when only beaten a length at Doncaster. That was also his first run over 7f so there should be more to come. Perfect Thought wasn’t winning out of turn on the Rowley Mile here in November but his absence since is a concern. None of the others can be ruled out in a wide-open finale.
