Verdict
Several look to have solid claims in this with both Kellystown Lad and Le Burf likely to improve significantly for their comeback runs. Daldini was beaten less than a length by Work Boy at Haydock but is 4lb higher here, while McCoy prefers Babysitter to the returning Mohayer. Mirage Dore kept on well over a similar trip when third at Kelso and should go close but it may be worth giving another chance to NORTH ISLAND in a first-time visor. He's only a pound higher than when successful over C&D in the summer and may just have found the longer trip beyond him when second at Hereford last time.
