In depth
Verdict
Baraweez has never won first-time back but he's competed in many major handicaps and scored twice at Chester last May. He's well handicapped though could just need this unlike King's Slipper, though he's taking a leap in grade after landing a Class 4 at Kempton. BORODIN won twice here last year and made a very encouraging reappearance when third in the Spring Mile at Newbury - he's on the same mark and looks the one to beat. Dawaaleeb is generally competitive at this sort of level and his rider's 7lb claim is a plus while Commander Han was staying on nicely over 7f at Musselburgh.
