In depth
Verdict
Bailieborough was most disappointing at Catterick last time but proved unsuited by the sharp nature of the track and should be seen to better effect here despite a subsequent 3lb rise. Ed Dunlop's charge had previously been a close runner-up at Haydock and looks sure to go well off his current mark. Concubine was below par last time but is better judged on a previous course and distance success in July and has claims if overcoming a high draw but Tychy has more to find after landing a weak affair at Brighton last time.
