Verdict

CABLE BEACH has made the frame 3 of his 4 starts this year, travelling well through the race when runner-up at Southwell last time, so is taken to open his account for the campaign. Finn Ironside is much respected, though, arriving on the back of a second C&D success, with Luminous Warrior another to consider.
