    Verdict

    On his hurdles form TOBAGO BAY should be too classy for this field and we'll take a chance he will be but Brave Bugsy looks interestingly handicapped while Lady Pilot shouldn't be ignored. The selection is rated as high class over timber and has proven a number of times to be effective at this level on the flatincluding last time out. On the pick of his form he is still fairly treated and he has gone well here on fast ground in the past. Brave Bugsy's last success came over course and distance against similar opposition in identical conditions at this time last year. He is now two pounds below the rating he carried that day so he could produce another big run. Lady Pilot loves this stamina test having won over it three times in four efforts. She's been on decent form recently and is still weighted in the competitive category. Corking was a course and distance winner two weeks ago when five pounds lighter in handicap and although he should still be competitive it might be a prohibitive rise. This card doesn't get any easier and we'll take a chance with Tobago Bay.
