Verdict

BABY BELLINI can land the spoils in a race that shouldn't take a lot of winning, building on his Galway win in September off a 5lb lower mark. Bective Cave for trainer Matthew Smith can emerge as the biggest danger, with Longtimeincejaspr, Hughies Bay and Feagreen Native all capable of hitting the frame.
  1. Baby Bellini
  2. Bective Cave
  3. Hughies Bay
