This looks something of a lottery with no less than five recent winners on show, though Beepeecee is the only one of those that won over today’s trip. Art's Desire, Honey Badger and Jack Nevison all won over 7f here while Captain Hawk scored over the same distance at Newcastle. Titan Goddess went close to taking advantage of a slide down the weights when second at Yarmouth and can figure but THE BEAR CAN FLY is less exposed and gets a speculative vote after placing at Ffos Las on last month’s handicap debut.
