Austrian Theory heads this ten-runner Class 5 contest at Beverley on good ground, sitting narrowly ahead of Mao Shang Wong and a couple of pounds clear of Great Blasket and Shimmering Sands, who share the same figure and cannot be dismissed lightly over this ten-furlong trip. Mao Shang Wong represents the most immediate threat given how closely matched the pair are on form, while Great Blasket and Shimmering Sands add further complication at the weights. That said, Austrian Theory’s edge at the head of the field gives a consistent basis for preference, and on balance he looks the one to beat in a competitive but winnable assignment. Austrian Theory is our selection.
