Bailarico has had an unusual preparation for a race on the level, winning an Irish point in January. Jumps form could have a part to play in this stamina test with James Nash running top weight MASSINI’S TRAP, who has been keeping good company over timber - he looks well treated on a mark of 59 back on the Flat. The Way You Dance is another to consider but he lacks a recent run. Grams And Ounces is still capable on his day but Ocean Gale has gone up 6lb for winning over course and distance 11 days ago. Everlasting Sea and Sheila's Fancy look the pick of the remainder.
