Verdict
A winner at Thirsk last month, Helovaplan failed to cope with a rise in the weights last time and Dawaaleeb found a 9lb hike beyond him at Ripon recently. Michele Strogoff has placed off today’s mark on four consecutive occasions while better was expected from the unexposed Hakeem at Sandown on his handicap debut though it’s too soon to write him off. MON BEAU VISAGE (NAP) landed a double over today’s distance last August and has returned to a winning mark. A recent second at Doncaster suggests he’ll be winning again soon and David O’Meara’s charge gets the vote.
