Verdict

FRANCESCO BARACCA is building an impressive record at this course with two recent wins and looked better than ever when scoring over 14f here 10 days ago, overcoming a pace bias with plenty in hand. Gemmari resumed winning ways at Chelmsford last week, responding well when driven despite a 5lb rise. Aiming High has been unsuited by shorter trips recently but will appreciate this return to 12f.
