Another tough puzzle for punters to solve. Adam De Beaulieu has the most recent winning form though that was back in November and came on the Fibresand. Convince and Ubenkor have also been in action at Southwell of late and the former came out best when that pair last met. Mrs E is open to improvement on only her fourth start and Broctune Papa Gio can boast a second over C&D last September, but the speculative selection is BECKERMET. He finally showed some signs of a resurgence when runner-up here last week and should go close again with a similar effort.
