Barizan is likely to set a decent pace but he might not get home trying this longer trip for the first time. Aalim was third over 2m6f at Cartmel last time, when George Fernbeck was fifth, but is another who probably still has his stamina to prove. A TAIL OF INTRIGUE can race off his correct mark today and can get back to winning ways. Both Capellanus and Barizan were behind last time at Market Rasen but King Boru will be a threat if fully wound-up and Cat Six made a promising reappearance at Bangor.
