MAIN BEACH looks a horse on the upgrade judged on his comfortable victory over C&D last time. There should be more to come and Silenzio and Shifting Star will do well to reverse running despite re-opposing on better terms. Sugar Beet was all out to score over 5f at Lingfield recently with Deerslayer well beaten and may be best at that trip, while the application of blinkers appears to have improved Mottley Crewe, though his recent wins have been recorded on soft ground and the Fibresand at Southwell. Perfect Act would have every chance on her defeat of Anne Of Kiev here last December, but she's a frustrating sort and has been beaten in claimers of late.
