The Dermot Weld-trained BARANIYA can get back to winning ways on second handicap start. The daughter of Iffraaj ran well in defeat, fourth of 14, not beaten far at the Curragh last month and can get the better of Peace Charter for trainer Ger Lyons on handicap debut. Breaking Story and Ice Cold In Alex in the colours of Middleham Park Racing can compete for remaining prize money. The Mick Halford-trained Katiymann could go well at a price.
