Verdict
Bewley's Guest, Be Be King and Sea The Light look the three to concentrate on in this bumper and we shall ride in with the first named. Bewley's Guest should get further than this trip having been campaigned in point-to-points. He was a winner at Tinahely of a three-mile race between the flags in October. Be Be King is a half-brother to several winners including Ackzo. He is sure to be plenty forward on debut. Sea The Light put in a fair effort when chasing Oscar Park at Windsor. He did however tend to hang left under pressure in the closing stages when the race began in earnest. Of the remainder, Simplyforpleasure looks an attractive type. He is a full brother to Bellator and a half-brother to winning hurdler Lord Warford. The market should give most clues and Bewley's Guest may just be good enough on balance to see off these fifteen rivals.
