Italian Beauty won in testing ground at Haydock last time but handles any going and is preferred to Chiswick Bey, who went close at Pontefract only to disappoint over a longer trip here last time. Talent Scout ended a long losing run when landing a claimer at Beverley and has won here before. But he was a long way behind MCDELTA (NAP) when the latter scored over track and trip in June. Ian William’s charge had to be switched off the rail for a clear run at Yarmouth last time when beaten only a length and can return to winning ways with normal luck in-running.
