BAROSSA RED won in heavy going at Haydock before finding one too good at the same track. Andrew Balding’s charge should make another bold bid back on testing ground for this. Mountain Rescue drops down in class having placed here recently while Ocean Paradise won in the heavy at Nottingham before struggling on her handicap debut. Thechildren'strust and Rampant Lion would prefer a faster surface while Dourado handles today’s going but hasn’t won since 2017.
