Didn't seem to handle conditions when comfortably held in a handicap at Pontefract last time. Had been in good form prior, the trainer is in form, and she is effective at 6f and 7f on this surface.

Verdict
Although unable to land a blow when fourth as favourite at Newcastle, there is a sneaking suspicion that Betsen can score off his current rating. However, the five-year-old needs a strong pace to aim at and it may be worth chancing likely pacesetter DYRHOLAEY. Archie Watson's charge might get an easy time out in front and could outrun his odds. Coachello was a place behind Betsen last time and is a feasible alternative.
Expert View Verdict
It's probable there's more to come from BETSEN for his new yard, the 5yo having made a winning start for Tony Carroll at Souhwell in November and shaped better than the result aftr blowing the start when fourth at Newcastle last time. He's only had three starts on the AW and his style suggests this course could suit him well. Many A Star looks a live threat, having run well back from 142 days off when fourth over C&D five weeks ago. He might come on for that and, if so, then could make the selection sweat. Coachello finished ahead of him on his most recent outing and is 5lb lower than when last successful, so is next on the list.
