Verdict
BAILARICO (NAP) doesn't always look the most straightforward but has been very well handled by Edward Greatrex to land a hat-trick, raised 13lb since scoring the first of those wins at Chepstow in mid-May. He has been shrewdly placed by father Warren and this rates another strong opportunity for the son of Dubawi who always finished his races off well. Buthelezi has a fair claim on this first run for Gary Moore but the main threat could emerge from Street Jester. He is very lightly-raced for a four-year-old, ran very well when a close Wetherby third latest and represents a yard whose charges are currently running consistently well. Threediamondrings has place claims if building on an improved effort here last time.
