Verdict

BAILE ANRAI finished a well beaten second behind the progressive Pere Blanc at Sandown on his recent handicap debut. Back in this company, Ian Williams' winning pointer can get off the mark at the chief expense of Kasbadali. The latter recently returned from a lay-off with a modest fifth, but had gone close at Southwell before that and should be thereabouts at the finish. Nobody's Business has a point-to-point win to his credit but the ten-year-old is making his debut under Rules here, while Sandy's Double may need more time. Luna Lightning and Personal Flair have shown no worthwhile form so far.
