    In depth

    Verdict

    SEBASTIAN BEACH was prominent throughout when fourth on his debut over 7f at Newmarket. He was only beaten three lengths and finished clear of the fifth so the form has a solid look about it and he can open his account here at the main expense of Faintly. Amanda Perrett's Lingfield winner had his limitations exposed last time and steps up a grade here under a penalty. Shankly has plenty of stamina in his pedigree and is preferred to Avocadeau, well beaten at Epsom, of the others.
