8/11

Shaped as if better for the run after 10 months off when third in 8-runner handicap at this course (13.3f) 14 days ago, headed over 1f out after looming up home turn. He's on a handy mark on the pick of his 3-y-o form and needs taking seriously.

Forecasts

Baileys Derbyday (8/11), C'mon Kenny (2/1), Arabescato (3/1), Genesius (4/1), Neverbeen To Paris (7/1), Beat The Breeze (15/2)

BAILEYS DERBYDAY went well for a long way on his reappearance here 2 weeks ago until a lack of a recent run told, and he remains the type to win races this year. C'mon Kenny made an encouraging return himself at Wolverhampton and looks a big danger with the prospect of more to come now upped in trip.
