Verdict
BARYSHNIKOV scored over track and trip back in May and has won again subsequently. A runner-up at Ripon last time, he should be in the mix again. Restorer beat Lawn Ranger here at this time last year and is back on a winning mark but Lunar Jet returns from a lay-off having run well at the track earlier in the year. Satono Japan looks no nearer winning despite slipping down the weights and Mr Excellency is preferred off his current mark. Six Strings steps up in trip and looks vulnerable.
