Beau Nash doesn't look one to place maximum faith in however he likes this ground and is taken to land the spoils. The shortlist is made up of Indigo Sky and Brown Fox. The selection's third last-time out reads well in the context of this race and with first-time cheek-pieces on today, he should take all the beating. He won on good to firm on the flat, and whilst stamina is still a slight issue, this race will take little winning. Brown Fox has been given a break since some disappointing efforts but he has run well here in the past and despite wanting more cut in the ground, he has place claims. Indigo Sky is another who would prefer the heavens to open but his run a week ago at Fontwell wasn't too bad and he rates a danger. Premier Hope is another to consider, however for the winner we will return to David Pipe's Beau Nash.
