Verdict

Returning BEAGLE BAY concedes plenty of weight to his rivals but it was a highly encouraging debut effort he produced when an unlucky second at Newbury last spring and, he may well be up to the task on return to action. Karl Burke newcomer Different Opinions may be the one to give him most to think about.
