Verdict

Baileys Concerto hasn’t won for more than three years but has dropped to a very fair mark as a result and could go well. MASTERPLAN had disappointed over fences before winning a three-runner race at Towcester in April. Hopefully that will have given his confidence a boost as he’s well treated on his useful hurdles form. Sister Sibyl didn’t do much wrong when third at Warwick and is a likely improver while Kilronan Castle bolted up at Leicester and has been placed here over hurdles. Muwalla has been running well in this sort of grade but is still 5lb higher than for his last success. The Tailgater hasn’t run since June but usually goes well fresh.
