Ailish T is having only a third start for Fergal O’Brien but has proved best over 6f so far. MAC AILEY is only a pound higher than his last winning mark so has to go on the shortlist. He is fractionally better off with Bearwith, who beat him a neck last time at Redcar but would have preferred an extra furlong at least. Closely matched with Ayr winner Bankawi on the form book, course and distance winner Willing To Please has claims and Reclaim Victory arrives off the back of a victory at Newcastle but disappointed running at this meeting last year when last seen on Turf.
