Verdict

Having slipped to a workable mark, BEAMING LIGHT put in a good shift when going down narrowly to the in-form Mr Nugget over 8.6f here last time and he is taken to go one better back at this trip. Champion Again Ole still has low mileage and is greatly respected on the back of his breakthrough success at Kempton in September, which was his first start since being gelded. Pressure's On could also have a say if he puts his best foot forward.

3	16/5, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Kempton (7f) on latest start in September. 7 lb rise looks manageable (that race has worked out well) and he may have more to offer for his top yard. 2nd Pick 3 Champion Again Ole (Ire) Jockey: Oisin Murphy Trainer: Roger Varian J: Oisin Murphy T: Roger Varian	99	-	-	-	34%	2/1
Analysis 16/5, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Kempton (7f) on latest start in September. 7 lb rise looks manageable (that race has worked out well) and he may have more to offer for his top yard.
1	Sixteenth of 18 in handicap at Newbury (6f, heavy, 16/1) when last seen in October, left poorly placed. Only 2 lb above the mark off which he shared the spoils in a big-field York handicap last summer and will be a threat if on-song. 3rd Pick 1 Pressure's On (Fr) Jockey: Hector Crouch Trainer: Ed Dunlop J: Hector Crouch T: Ed Dunlop	98	-	-	-	8%	12/1
Analysis Sixteenth of 18 in handicap at Newbury (6f, heavy, 16/1) when last seen in October, left poorly placed. Only 2 lb above the mark off which he shared the spoils in a big-field York handicap last summer and will be a threat if on-song.
