Captain Royale has disappointed this year while the three-year-old Bellemere doesn't appear to have trained on and Wicked Wilma was a long way behind Lucky Art at Catterick earlier this month. Ruth Carr's charge appears to have a bit to find to overturn earlier Beverley running with Highland Warrior and Captain Scooby, however, and Paul Midgley's veteran has since been beaten in a seller at Musselburgh. Baybshambles is in decent form and finished second over 6f at Catterick on his latest start but had earlier been readily brushed aside by ANGELO POLIZIANO over this C&D and, on only 5lb worse terms, the top weight can confirm the form and take this as he's since run well in defeat in a better race at Haydock.
