Plenty of winning C&D form here with four of the combatants earning that accolade but it may the one horse in the field that hasn’t won here that comes out on top in CHAIN OF BEACONS. He ran well after a break last time and this strong travelling type now appears to finish off his races a lot better. Discoverie won this race in 2016 but that was off an 18lb lower mark and his chase mark is a tough one and the claims of course specialist Frankie Ballou are much preferred although he will need to improve again. Oak Vintage isn’t ruled out especially if he gets a soft lead with Midnight Walk sure to shape better with a recent run now under her belt.
