Baawrah may prove to be the answer here, with Absolutelythebest, Fiddlers Ford and Red Silk likely to prove the main dangers. Baarwah ran his best race over the course and distance in November when finding only the odds-on Pukka too hot to handle, and should make a bold bid to go one better under Chris Catlin. Amanda Perrett saddles an interesting newcomer in Red Silk, a son of Polish Precedent who is owned by the Cheveley Park Stud. Any moves in the ring for him could be significant. Derby entry Absolutelythebest improved for the step up in trip on his Polytrack debut in November when fourth to Keep On Movin and should be involved, while Fiddlers Ford returns to the fray after finishing down the field on his Newmarket debut in August. He may be best watched on this occasion but could be one to follow on the all-weather. For the winner, we return to Baawrah.
