Formscan - Ralph Beckett has taken two of the last four renewals and he will be pinning his hopes on Sing Us A Song this year. The son of Camelot shed his maiden tag at Goodwood prior to winning on his handicap debut at Sandown and he boasts a leading chance. Serious Contender possesses a similar profile after scoring on his first start in a handicap at Leopardstown in March and the extra distance looks sure to suit, but it may be worth chancing PROPOSE. The son of Frankel made a strong impression when recording his first career success at Curragh on his latest outing and the colt has shaped as if he would relish this extra yardage.
