Verdict

Baracalu won a Hexham bumper by 30 lengths in March 2017 and was narrowly beaten in a Sedgefield maiden hurdle in December that year. He was beaten a long way when third on his comeback at Cartmel last month, though a bad mistake at the last didn't help. Fair Kate was placed twice in maidens at Chepstow earlier this year and will have needed last month's reappearance there. This is a drop in class and she looks the main threat to BALLYELLIS. The winner of three sellers since September, he landed a Huntingdon claimer by 17 lengths a month ago and regular pilot Jordan Nailor is excellent value for his 7lb claim.
