Verdict
Beau Haze won a Class 5 handicap over the course and distance but was well beaten into second when stepped up to this grade at Ffos Las. PETTY CASH completed a soft-ground double in very good style at Huntingdon and though 7lb higher on this quicker going looks progressive enough to complete a hat-trick. Jaunty Viking has been unable to handle softer conditions since scoring on summer ground at Ffos Las in June while winning point-to-pointer Tango Tara makes his handicap debut after two fair efforts on much softer going than he faces here.
