        Verdict

        Front runners can be hard to catch here if they are allowed an easy lead and, with Bakiri in such good form at present, he is selected over Red Forest and Field Spark , who head the list of alternatives. Whereas it would be dangerous to rule out a bold bid from Swynford Pleasure; even though she was little bit disappointing behind Red Forest last time. The last named has shown a game attitude and is still fairly treated despite a 6lb penalty here. However, Bakiri has hit form at the right time for this and he could be very hard to catch if, as expected, he tows them along at his own pace from the start. The drop in trip is also very much in Bakiri's favour and now could be the time to catch him after his solid effort at Newcastle last week.
