Beyondtemptation was racing from out of the handicap when second to BARABOY over course and distance. The former has since won at Newcastle but the latter should confirm superiority on better terms so Barry Murtagh's charge gets the nod. Deny won off a similar mark over track and trip last season but was pulled up on his latest start while Mrs Grass has turned in a couple of woeful efforts since scoring at Hexham. But Nefyn Bay should be capable of better this season and chase winner Assirem has won over fences in France.
