Verdict
Another really tricky test for punters as most of these would have a chance on their best form. Barkston Ash won at Hamilton on Monday and makes a quick reappearance but we prefer the other penalised runner BARON RUN. Karl Burke's three-year-old has hit form with a vengeance and showed a very willing attitude to score at Hamilton 11 days ago. Joey Haynes again takes off 5lb and the gelding may have another win in him before the handicapper catches up. There are dangers everywhere, however, with Kempton first and second, Trinityelitedotcom and Mission Approved, entitled to respect and Marjong and Lulu The Zulu also in decent form. Hadaj beat last year's winner Midnight Rider by a length-and-a-half at Newmarket in August but the latter is 8lb better off here and has fair claims again while the booking of William Buick for the lightly-weighted Broughtons Charm catches the eye and any market interest should be taken seriously.
