In depth
Verdict
Dexileos, Tommytyler and Bob Baileys are the shortlisted trio in another desperate affair and the vote is given to Bob Baileys. The selection won well under a forceful ride last time when narrowly beating Tuscan Treaty on this track. The blinkers seem to have worked the oracle with this horse and as they are applied again today he looks the one to be with. Dexileos tried to make-all but he was just caught in the shadows of the post last time and he could be worth another chance today. Tommytyler has been knocking on the door of late and it will be a surprise if he is not good enough to at least make the frame. Gala Sunday was once quite useful but he has regressed quite significantly and for the winner we will return to Bob Baileys.
