Marco Botti does well at Beverley and HYPERCHROMATIC gets the nod in the hope he builds upon his fair reappearance fifth at Newbury a fortnight ago. Bowen Island is yet to win but has some strong form and reappeared with an encouraging run at Southwell last month. He is second choice ahead of Fool Again.[Ben Hutton]

Won in good style at Pontefract (6f, good) last July on third start; failed to kick on from that the next twice but in tough races; reappears having had gelding/wind operations and pedigree suggests this new trip can suit; possible player if back on song.
Showed promise on first three starts (on good to firm-soft) before winning Newcastle novice (7f, AW) last September; down the field in York sales race last time but retains potential and reappears having been gelded, like Classy Boy who won this last year for Karl Burke; he's one to consider.
Won in fine style when making virtually all in Catterick maiden (7f, good to firm) last August on his third start; down the field in York nursery (7f, good to firm) later that month but he's not ruled out in a first-time hood in view of the promise he showed at Catterick.
Won Chelmsford novice (7f, AW) last September on third start and followed up in Newmarket nursery (7f, soft); reappeared with fair fifth at Newbury (7f, good) a fortnight ago and could show the benefit of that outing today; Newmarket trainer has a 26% strike-rate here; one to be interested in.
0-6 but he showed promise on turf last season and reappeared with a solid second in a maiden at Southwell (7f, AW) last month; there's every chance he'll be in the mix now back in a handicap.
Ran well on fast ground on first two 2yo outings (C&D on debut) and, after a slow start, was a 2l fifth of seven on nursery debut at Kempton (7f, AW) last November; today's extra yardage could well suit and we may not have seen the best of her (cost 150,000gns at the breeze-ups last April).
