Beattie Is Back

9st 9lb

J: Ethan Tindall

T: Richard & Peter Fahey

He's struggled to get competitive on turf on his four starts since May, albeit he fared best in the near-side group at York a fortnight ago; Tapeta seems to be his preferred surface and he's 5lb lower than when going close at Wolverhampton (7f) in February; no surprise to see a big run.

Form & Verdict
Finally exploited a big drop in the weights when landing Class 5 at Doncaster (5.6f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; similar form when second at Pontefract last week; 3lb ahead of the handicapper and one of two solid form contenders for Liam Bailey, although a lower draw would have been preferred.

Two wins this summer, the latter gained over C&D; not beaten far when eighth of 20 in competitive Ripon handicap (6f, good) last month but he's not as good as he was, and has a double-digit draw; others preferred.

Won at Doncaster (5.6f, good to firm) last month and runner-up at Pontefract (6f, good to firm) next time, splitting a well-treated winner and a next-time-out scorer; well beaten at York last time but was scuppered by a high draw; third over C&D in April and could be involved.
