In depth
Verdict
Bailarico hinted at a revival at Musselburgh eight days ago and is not without a chance in this dropped 2lb with his young rider taking off a further 7lb but SUPAKALANISTIC boasts very solid form over this sort of trip over the last 15 months and Zac Baker has already won twice on the son of Kalanisi. Regarding Ruth beat Iwilldoit and Colonial Dreams at Newbury with Neverbeen To Paris, Outonpatrol and Canyon City all finishing out of the places but the jury is out on Ashtown Lad, who is 12lb higher than when last running in a handicap. The penny has dropped with Small Present but he was all out to complete a double at Doncaster and has gone up a further 6lb.
