      Verdict

      Deano's Beano is mot the easiest of rides but has plenty in his favour and gets the vote with Strong Flow the forecast pick ahead of Rostropovich and Glacial Sunset. Tony McCoy appears to excel on the Martin Pipe-trained Deano's Beano with the combination landing three Graded events this term. The 11-year-old tuned up for this with a convincing all-the-way success over three miles at Ascot and should take plenty of beating with race conditions in his favour. Strong Flow looks ready for this step up in class after a facile novice win at Taunton and this unexposed sort should go well with further progress anticipated. Glacial Sunset is a progressive type and is respected while Irish challenger Rostrpovich showed his well being when placed at Cheltenham earlier in the month.
