The opener at Beverley on Sunday is the only contest on ITV Racing’s seven-race schedule to attract a double-figure field and punters could get away to a flier if the veteran Broctune Red (2.05) can return from a three-month break in similar form to his close second at Thirsk in May.
Gillian Boanas’s seven-year-old has run well fresh in the past and is admirably consistent, with seven wins and 15 placed efforts from his 45 career starts.
