Verdict

Course and distance winner Baraboy is in good form under both codes and would be of real interest if turning up, but he's due to take up an engagement at Perth on Sunday afternoon over timber. He'll need to be kept on the right side if a runner but SANDGATE has been a steady improver throughout his three-year-old campaign and could be tough to beat in receipt of weight all round having won under high-flying Samantha Bell at Haydock last time. Love Marmalade and San Cassiano have their fair share of weight so Argaki and Remember Rocky are the preferred shortlist contenders.
