BEATTIE IS BACK (6) followed up a short head win at Newcastle three starts back with a 0.75L third and a 0.5L second all at the same venue. Possesses wining course and distance form. Difficult wide gate to overcome. Consider. THAPA VC (9) just missed placing second by a head on New Years Eve at Lingfield. Attractive draw from stall two. May go one better. GIANT (1) finished 2.5L fourth at Kempton during November. Might return fitter after 80-day absence. Possibilities. BILLY MILL (2) rounds out the shortlist having won tackling track and trip.
