Verdict
Baileys Concerto was only fourth in this last year and appears on a downward spiral but Splash of Ginge hinted at a revival at Chepstow last month and is 12lb lower than at this time last year. He will put pace to the race but others are less exposed including Some Buckle and Thomas Brown, who are both likely to win race this season. ORBASA (NAP) did well in the spring after arriving from France. He was just beaten in a Listed handicap at Ayr in April and, still only five, should have plenty more to offer. Princeton Royale has been in good form but is taking on stronger opposition today and it's hard to fancy Witness In Court off his current mark. Mr Mole has always been quirky so is best watched following an absence having switched stables.
