Having won a point-to-point in January, Bailarico has rattled up a four-timer on the Flat since joining Warren Greatrex. But he has to concede more than a stone here to PRAECEPS (NAP), a typical Sir Mark Prescott improver judged on his all-the-way win at Salisbury when he suggested he’d be even more effective over this longer trip. Methag has run well over hurdles since winning at Doncaster at the start of June and shouldn’t be ignored while Tingo In The Tale has run some of his best races here and could go well at a price.
