        Verdict

        Old Bailey gets the confident vote in this seller with I'm Aimee, Headland and Countrywide Girl rating the main dangers. The selection won well in this grade last time out when beating Massey, getting up on the line to score. The return to this longer trip is sure to suit and from what looks a good draw he will be hard to beat under conditions that suit. I'm Aimee rates the main danger on her latest sixth behind Lakeside Guy as she did not get a clear run on that occasion and is dropped to the bottom grade here. Headland has a chance on his best form but he was very disappointing last time behind Louisiade; however, he is another returning to his right grade. Countrywide Girl is another last time out winner that could go well but she will find this harder under her penalty and for that reason she is opposed. Of the remainder Sion Hill was only a neck behind the selection last time and is better off at the weights here. However, he has yet to prove he stays this far and for the winner we return to Old Bailey.
