Verdict

MURVAGH BEACH made a positive start in handicaps when second in a big field at Newcastle recently and is selected to build on that and go one better now. Golan Cloud posted a couple of solid placed efforts here towards the end of 2020 and will be a threat if returning from a break in similar form. Farocco will be suited by the step back up in trip and is also on the shortlist.

  2. GOLAN CLOUD (IRE)
  3. FAROCCO (GER)
