In depth
Verdict
BARYE scored by three lengths over course and distance last time and can shrug off a 6lb rise with more to come from him this year. Mr Red Clubs has won seven races on the all-weather but all came over shorter trips than this while Puzzle Time disappointed last time having been raised only 3lb for an earlier win at Kempton. Swing Alone can get involved in this grade if in the mood and Stormy Paradise may improve stepping up in distance having slipped down the weights.
