Flash Betty made all to beat Sterling Knight and Beauzon over course and distance eight days ago having won earlier at Lingfield. She seems to prefer artificial surfaces but has a penalty to carry so will do well to complete the hat-trick. The eye is drawn to BE BE EX with De Sousa booked. Chris Dwyer’s gelding didn’t get the run of the race when just behind Sagittarius and Bro here recently and looks better drawn today. Straits Of Moyle looks to be getting his act together and may be best of the rest.
