Verdict

Ballyare wasn’t beaten far when fourth here latest and is preferred to Captain Jameson, who has found one too good the last twice now without threatening the winner. Bannow makes his handicap debut having undergone wind surgery and headgear is also applied but BRIDGETOWN (NAP) is another expected to improve now handicapping. The latter was beaten only a head in maiden company at Doncaster last time and a bold bid is expected. Iris Dancer has a shout but was due to run at Haydock yesterday.
