Jamie Bargary is starting to look good value for his 10lb claim and should pick up more rides this winter. He can partner BALLY BRAES to a first success here as his mount was doing his best work at the finish over 3m at Chepstow in April. Flemi Two Toes has form over staying trips and finished ahead of American Life when third at Huntingdon last month. The market may be the best guide to the chances of the remainder, most of whom are returning from a lay-off.
