RACING POST VERDICT

The Christian Williams-trained BEAU QUALI arrives in fine form and is taken to defy a 7lb penalty and follow up his recent Chepstow win

Racing Post Pick
Beau Quali
Our Expert Tip

FINAL SURPRISE won nicely last time out and although carrying a penalty here, should still go very close to winning again.

Rain cap will be all the rage in the betting, but again when isn\'t it. was 2/1 beaten fav last time out and essentially is 4lb worse off here, Im going to take an eachway gamble on BULLINGTON BRY switch stables last time out and well supported in the market, the 1st time blinkers were slapped on and seemed to do an ok job, I would prefer this horse to potentially get a bit more cover, he will stay 7F/1m and has the speed to tuck in if needed. the race is not great and if Jessica Macey can squeeze a bit more out of this horse on his 2nd run he could go close, of a career low marl and 4 places on offer at 15/2 happy to have an eachway play on this.
