Baily Green comes out best at the weights but has not raced since April, though drops down in class for this. Leap Dearg has been off the track for even longer while Mad Brian also returns from an absence. Colbert Station last won over fences in 2012, Pumbaa is also on a long losing run and Usa has little chance on these terms. So this looks a good chance for REALT MOR (NAP) to take advantage having finished third in a handicap at Perth last month to Ballykan, who has won again since.
