Verdict

A cracking handicap but BARLEY signalled he is ready to end a long losing run when a short-head second at Hamilton a week ago and can now capitalise on a reduced mark. Amidst The Chaos rates a big threat though on the back of a promising Beverley fourth, while Havana Touch and Superfortress can also have a say.
