        Verdict

        Bailieborough has been nothing but consistent of late and is taken to get his head in front at the expense of El Toreador and Carmenero. The selection is rarely out ot the first three but has not won since last August. His latest effort when second to European Dream at Redcar caught the eye and if repeating that effort he has to the one to be on. El Toreador beat a tidy field at Salisbury last time out and has improved with each run. Exerience though is paramount in these types of races and the lack of it could be against her to follow up. Carmenero had become a touch frustrating to follow of late but redeemed himself at Lingfield last time out. Having said that is not to be relied upon and therefore has to be treated with caution. So for the winner we return to Bailieborough as the likely winner.
