Verdict

TURN UP THE BEAT made eye-catching headway when third over C&D 19 days ago despite being slowly away and hanging left, and could be competitive if addressing these starting issues. Hero Of The Hour, a four-time course winner, reverts to 5f with visor refitted off a workable mark. Steel Magnolia wasn't disgraced five days ago and should appreciate this drop back in trip.
