Verdict
BELLOMI and Kipchak may be the two to concentrate on here with Bookiebasher Babe perhaps the best of the rest. Gay Kelleway's charge is probably flattered by his rating of eighty eight but his trainer places her horses well and he has an obvious chance if running near his best. He's fitted with some headgear for the first time and may benefit from that. Kipchak drops back two furlongs in trip but that should be no problem at this venue as long as he handles the surface but Eddie Ahern has been on the last twice and jumps ship to the selection. Bookiebasher Babe and Ricci De Mare are course and distance winners who could benefit from returning here whilst Maddy receives plenty of weight all round but we'll take Bellomi to give weight and a beating to his rivals.
