Verdict
BABY BACH carries a double penalty after landing the odds in a similar contest over track and trip earlier this month. But he was untroubled to win by 10 lengths on that occasion with Wazowski behind in third and can go in again. Kara Tara went close in a handicap at Sedgefield on her latest start but has plenty to find with the selection on these terms while Dubai Shen goes hurdling for the time having placed in a bumper at Musselburgh last month.
