Verdict

The handicapper looks to have finally caught up with Tricorn and the latter was well beaten at Carlisle last time. BARYSHNIKOV is still improving having added to an earlier success at Chester with a victory at Ripon last month and he looks worth sticking with in this. King Zain failed to convince at Epsom racing over today’s trip for the first time while maiden winner Platinumcard makes his handicap debut in useful company.
