Verdict

BARI won on her handicap debut in good style over 1m4f here. She had a subsequent winner back in third and there looks plenty more to come from Lucy Wadham's filly. The consistent Able Dash finished well ahead of Rideonastar when third at Goodwood last time and should run her race again, though she needs to reverse earlier running at Kempton with Castle Combe. Glens Wobbly remains 11lb higher than last month's win at Bath while Always Resolute and jumper Hallings Comet also look high enough in the handicap at present.
