BARADAR has a penalty for his victory over this trip on soft ground at Newbury. He weakened close home when tackling a mile back there next time and can return to winning ways. Emperor Supreme stayed on nicely over 6f at Pontefract while Le Cheval Rapide was always up with the pace over this trip at Thirsk. Victim found 6f at Catterick too sharp but was going on at the finish and should get into contention. Richard Hannon's Dutch Art filly Candace has a speedy pedigree and is one to note on her debut.
