In depth
Verdict
Killala, Bailieborough and Wares Home are the three for the shortlist here and the vote is given to Bailieborough. The selection finished behind Killala in a race won by Mehmaas at Newcastle last time, but this longer trip will suit our selection and as such he is taken to reverse those placings and get his head in front. Killala has got obvious claims based on that effort at Newcastle but he is unproven over this trip and is probably best watched on this his first try over a mile. Wares Home was third behind Zhitomir at Ayr last time but he is far from reliable and he is probably better over a slightly shorter trip as well so he is opposed on this occasion. Alafzar looks the best of the rest so is worth noting in the market but for the winner we return to Bailieborough.
