          Verdict

          Splendidly is penalised after making made a winning start over track and trip with a horse rated 72 not far behind in third. But XIAN EXPRESS is rated 82 having placed in three of four starts when trained in Ireland and gets the vote to open his account in this company on his first outing for Mick Appleby’s yard. Bendy Spirit was placed over 7f for the third time in succession on his latest outing and the less-exposed Buy Me Back also found one too good over 7f at Kempton on her recent debut. Baileys Blues steps back up in distance having struggled over the minimum trip here and looks best of the rest.
