Forecasts

Bayroot (11/8), Qaysar (13/8), Baltic Baron (5/2), Victory Command (4/1), So Beloved (10/1)

Verdict

Qaysar made a seamless transition into stronger company at Haydock last week and could simply be a much better horse than a handicapper nowadays. However, off top-weight his task isn't straightforward, so with other viable alternatives he can just about be opposed. With handicapping still a relatively new discipline for the three-year-old Bayroot (hasn't fully got his act together yet), a preference is for the Mark Johnston-trained VICTORY COMMAND. On today's forecast fast ground, the suspicion is that this previous course winner (novice) should relish dropping back in trip (to 1m).
