In depth
Verdict
Missed A Beat can defy top-weight here and can get the better of Abide and Sand Fairy. The selection finished ahead of abide when they met at Salisbury last time in what looked to be a stronger race than this. Missed a Beat finished runner up to Tesary with Abide back in fifth. Richard Hannon's runner is a couple of pounds better off today, but it shouldn't be enough to reverse the form. Sand Fairy rarely gets beaten far and put in another sterling effort when finishing third behind Society Music at Haydock last time. Once again she shouldn't be far away. Down at the foot of the handicap Follow My Lead showed improved form last time and is another to consider for each-way purposes, but Missed A Beat appears to have the strongest form on show and gets our vote.
