Verdict
Bailieborough, Kid'z'play and Forest Air are all shortlisted in this claimer and the vote is given to the first mentioned. The selection won well last time out when defeating Always Flying at Musselburgh and he looks more than capable of going-in again here. Kid'z'play is a course and distance winner who has to be respected as he goes really well here, and although he was a little disappointing at Newcastle last time, it would be no surprise to see him go well with conditions to suit. Forest Air is stepped up in trip but he was disappointing on his only other effort over this distance and the suspicion is that it will push his stamina to the limit. Ambushed is the other worth a second look in the market and for the winner we return to Bailieborough.
