In depth
Verdict
BAILEYS EN PREMIER was raised 3lb for winning over track and trip and went close again at Lingfield recently. He's up another couple of pounds but could still prove the one to beat in his current form. Mr Soprano is better off with the latter on last month's running here while Mishrif won a lower grade event at the track back in March. Clary is also a course winner but is upped in class under a penalty after last week's victory and the same comment applies to yet another course and distance winner in Roxie Lot.
