Beauchamp Oracle, Caught At Dawn and The Kings Fling look the three to concentrate on here with the vote going to Beauchamp Oracle. The selection goes particulaly well over course and distance and was a fair third behind Red Brook Lad, this faster ground looks sure to bring about improvement and he looks a value bet. Caught At Dawn rates the main danger as he won well last time when beating Chaddesley Corb' he is another that will relish the conditions and he will not be far away. The Kings Fling is another last time out winner that could go well but consistency is not his strong. Jewel Song is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he is hard to win with and for the winner we return to Beauchamp Oracle.
