Verdict
BEERWAH built on his promising second at Doncaster to score by just over a length at Redcar less than a week later and is just 5lb higher. The son of Mehmas has lots in his favour and looks well placed to complete a double. Kyber Crystal outran odds of 33/1 when third behind the selection and may get closer, although Until Dawn might prove to be the main threat after her third over C&D.
Expert View Verdict
BEERWAH arrives in good form after a solid success at Redcar last time out and, despite a wide draw, looks capable of going well again off this higher mark on current form and over a trip that clearly suits. Until Dawn shaped much better when only beaten by a length over C&D last time and another competitive effort looks likely if building on that return to form. Kyber Crystal is back on a workable mark and, after an improved latest effort when third and only a couple of lengths behind Beerwah at Redcar last time, also enters calculations.
