Barking Mad, Goldbricker and Gallery God look the principals in this claimer and the confident vote is given to Barking Mad. The selection won well in this grade last time out when beating Gallery Breeze last time out by a short head but he is sure to have come on for the run and he is taken to confirm his superiority over that rival here. Goldbricker rates a big danger as he is one of the least exposed in the field and won well when defeating Angelo¿s Pride. However that was 393 days ago and he may just need the run so he is passed over on this occasion.. Regencey Red is another last time out winner that could go well having beat Flite Of Araby last time out but that was in a seller and this looks more competitive so he will need to improve to defeat the principals.El Chaparral is dropping in grade and is from a shrewd yard so he should be monitored in the market but in a race that throws up more questions than answers for the winner we return to Barking Mad
