Race preview
BEEVES has struggled in his last couple of starts but it was only in June last year that he finished second at Perth off a mark of 147 and that form gives him a big chance today. Marinero won a similar contest to this at Ascot when last seen in March and he should go well once again, while Road To Rome and Now Ben also merit consideration.
