It is three against the field here, with Reyadi fancied to overcome the more experienced Beau Artiste and newcomer Act Of The Pace. Reyadi nearly caught them all napping on his Newmarket debut as he was allowed to steal a big lead under Willie Supple. It was only close home that Tanaghum got to him and although there must be a bit of a doubt about the form, this race is no stronger. Beau Artiste ran second to Monsieur Bond on his debut here last year but has had a habit of finding one too good since and is beginning to look fully exposed, while the fact that Act Of The Pace was also entered for a class F at Ripon on Saturday suggests that she is not out of the top draw at Middleham. The rest make no appeal and Reyadi is the selection to make all under George Duffield.
