Verdict

Rossini's Dancer looks up against it but the remaining quartet can all be given a chance. Of those, BAILEYS CONCERTO has a fitness advantage rattling up four wins in a row with the latest coming over fences at Aintree last month. He gets the nod despite carrying a penalty. Habbie Simpson ended last season with a double in hunter chase events and will find this tougher but both Robbie and Mitchell's Way have been placed in handicaps off similar marks to this and are not easily dismissed on their return to action.
