Verdict

GOLD CUP BAILLY made it 2 from 2 as a chaser in likeable fashion here 5 weeks ago, accounting for another that was probably ahead of his mark with the pair a long way clear of the rest, and he's taken to complete the hat-trick with this longer trip unlikely to be an issue. Marown is lurking on a dangerous mark if able to build on his decent comeback second here in October, so rates the main threat.
