Verdict
Back in the right grade, Palm Beach could go well at a price even though he lacks a recent run. Finnthemagician has also had a break but has had a wind op since last seen and it would be no surprise to see Montys Medoc in the firing-line given Harry Derham has made a strong start to his training career. HASTY BROOK finished ahead of Hurlerontheditch when runner-up to the revitalised Alnadam at Haydock last month and should make a race of it with progressive handicap debutant Butch.
