In depth
Verdict
Ballybunion, Old Bailey and On The Trail are three against the field in a wide open handicap and the tentative vote goes to Old Bailey. The selection has been in fair form of late and was a good fourth in a more competitive race behind Cloud Dancer last time out this looks easier and from a good draw he is taken to regain the winng thread. Ballybunion rates the main danger as he hails from a shrewd yard and is well weighted on the All Weather compared to his turf form so he is worth noting in the market. On The Trail is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but his best form of late has been in a lower grade and for that reason he is over looked. Savile¿s Delight goes well at the track but looks weighted up to the hilt. Of the remainder Tally has dropped to a handy mark and is another to note in the market but for the winner we return to Old Bailey
