Walsingham arrives here on a progressive profile that makes him an appealing each-way proposition over this mile trip on soft ground at Beverley, even if he sits a few pounds beneath the top two in the ratings. Nostrum heads the field on figures and cannot be dismissed lightly, while Hot Cash and On The River represent genuine dangers who will need to be accounted for if Walsingham is to justify preference. The case for him rests squarely on the likelihood that his upward curve has further to run and that he is being caught at the right moment before that improvement is fully reflected in the numbers. Walsingham is our selection.
