Verdict
Nothing leaps off the page in this so we’ll take the view that BARAYMI can improve further on last month’s third at Wincanton, where he finished close up despite making mistakes. Carry On Sydney is woefully one-paced and Galactic Power couldn’t cope with an 8lb rise when chasing a hat-trick at Market Rasen. Brass Monkey was still beaten more than 20 lengths when third at Kempton but Danceintothelight usually runs his race and his yard was back among the winners over the weekend.
