Verdict
Some real old favourites on view and we will take Artie to land the first prize with Raymond's Pride, Grey Cossack and Catch The Cat providing the major opposition. High draws are historically favoured at Beverley and with ground to suit and a high draw, Artie looks to be the percentage call. A prolific winner a couple of seasons ago, he has come down the handicap to a winning mark and only found Chico Guapo too good last time out. Compensation awaits. Grey Cossack is in good heart at present and won here over the flying five this time last year. He has been campaigned over six and seven of late and is well drawn again. Catch The Cat has speed to burn and as a dual scorer over course and distance, he must be granted utmost respect. Paddywack will attempt to make his usual late burst from stall twenty while Sir Sandrovitch is watched in the market for any signs of support. Artie gets the verdict.
