Race preview
None of the runners have tried this trip previously so stamina has to be taken on trust. Tabou Beach Boy produced a solid performance when fourth at Windsor, shaping as though a step up in distance would suit. He has been well beaten in three starts over 1m6f, though, so could be worth taking on with MYKLACHI. David O'Meara's gelding was never at the races at Thirsk, but his previous efforts at Lingfield and Ripon (over 1m4f) suggest he could be a factor at this trip. Beaufort kept on dourly for sixth over 1m4f at Thirsk and is respected as well.
