Verdict

BALLINSKER gets the nod in this as he clearly goes well fresh and is back in the right grade after a foray into Listed company at Haydock when last seen. A recent absence shouldn’t be a concern either for Milkwood, who rates a danger, while Stimulating Song’s last outing came in a Grade 3 handicap at Kempton in March. Al Kout has been running in staying races on the Flat this summer but has never won on Turf. Barden Bella’s second came in a point-to-point so this will probably be too short.
