Verdict

BEAU QUALI has the most convincing profile and could take some stopping. Versatile regarding his running style, the Christian Williams-trained six-year-old posted a dominant effort to land a similar event at Chepstow and remaining in novice company looks a good move, especially with Sean Bowen taking over in the saddle. Final Surprise won well over 2m here a fortnight ago and should be thereabouts if the additional yardage isn't an issue. The unexposed Manalishi and Double Tiger are others to consider.
