Verdict

The 13-year-old Kastani Beach hadn't won for almost four years before an 18-length victory over 2m3f at Lingfield where he took advantage of a very fast early pace to stay on past beaten horses. He's up 7lb but is still well handicapped compared to his chase mark. GENEROUS JACK had run well here previously before a very comfortable victory over track and trip a fortnight ago. He can complete a double though Dream Baie ran his best race to date over the course and distance earlier this month and has dropped to a very fair mark. Bolister was also showing his best form when a close third at Doncaster on Friday and makes a quick reappearance so has to be respected.
