A market push has seen Naval College take over as favourite with Ladbrokes.com.au for The Beauford (2300m) this afternoon at Newcastle.

The Neasham/Archibald trained gelding was good in defeat fresh in the Craven Plate and looks suited up in trip. He opened $4.80 and is now the $3,70 favourite.

Wyclif is on the second line of betting at $4, with Spirit Ridge next best at $7.50 and quite easy, out from $5. Kiwi raider Dionysus is $16 to $9.50 with betting sites in Australia.
