Vaunted has been beaten off this mark the last twice but WILLOUGHBY BAY is starting to look well treated and his stable is motoring along nicely at present. Musical Mystery has gone close the last twice on good to firm and a first victory can’t be far away and Penguin Island slips further down the weights. Love Trophy Power has won at Windsor and Yarmouth this year and Roger Varian’s runners here are always worth a second look but she has probably shown her best form over 5f.
