Verdict
MONSIEUR BEAULIEU has shown improved form switched to all-weather, successful at this course on first start in December before a good third from the widest draw back here 18 days ago. He is taken to resume winning ways, though Many A Star also arrives in good form and isn't taken lightly under a penalty. The Thames Boatman could also be in the mix.
