Verdict

Old Bailey has been in great form this winter and can land another contest at the expense of Merdiff and Kew The Music. David Barron's gelding has managed two victories at Southwell recently over six furlongs and he also boasts winning form here last summer over this trip. The stable continues in excellent form and he looks the one they all have to beat. Merdiff also hit winning form last time, he just got the better of Adantino over six furlongs. As with the selection he does have excellent form over this trip as well and should be capable of getting into a place at least. Kew The Music was in great heart during last November, landing two competitive events, if fit following his short holiday he should be in the shake up. Sundried Tomato showed signs of a return to form last time and could prove best of the remainder, however Old Baily appeared to win with a bit in hand last time and can go in again this afternoon
