Verdict
MONSIEUR BEAULIEU has held his form so well through the winter and into the spring, and looks to have been found a nice opportunity on the drop in grade. The booking of Jim Crowley catches the eye and Nick Littmoden's charge may have too much for Bishop's Crown, who didn't shape badly on his return at Kempton recently. A comfortable winner at Haydock on his comeback last year, Baba Reza must also enter calculations for his in-form yard.
Expert View Verdict
It could be worth chancing that BABA REZA can repeat the trick of winning on season bow having landed a class 5 handicap off an absence of over a year in decisvie fashion. He only ran once more last term when well down the field but had a very poor draw and can be forgiven that effort. He's been lightly raced in the last couple of years but was a winner off this same mark over course and distance in 2021 (has run only ten times since) and can get back on track to kick-start a frutiful campaign. Rebel Path loves these conditions and is feared most. The consistent Monsieur Beaulieu has been in fine form beaten under two lengths in his last four runs and poses a threat but Bishop's Crown looks primed for a big run after a solid re-introduction to action last time and can reach the frame
