Beech View was beaten less than a length in novice company last month and has plenty of scope for improvement, while the same comment applies to Warwick third Peace Corps. Meridiem and Alfloramoor filled the placed behind Turbo Shandy over C&D last time and there's not much between those rivals here, but the vote goes to VALID POINT. He had subsequent winner Kadouchski back in second when scoring over C&D in March and though he's been raised 6lb, Jim Old's charge is dropped in class and looks capable of following up.
