Verdict

BEAU BALKO turned a Sandown handicap into a one-sided affair in February, and while conceding a penalty in a fairly competitive novice will be no easy task, he could well be up to the job. Jupiter du Gite has his share of talent but is clearly a very difficult ride and it remains to be seen whether the removal of a hood will help, so Alien Storm is feared most.
