Verdict
BEALE STREET moved through the race in the manner of a well-handicapped horse when winning at Newcastle earlier this month, and he may be able to defy a 4 lb rise. Two-time course winner My Awele could bounce back to form for a return to this track, while fellow C&D winners Dark Side Thunder and Mumayaz are also worthy of consideration.
