BAY CENTRAL got no further than the first fence when unseating his rider at Fakenham on Tuesday. He'd made all over 2m3f here before that and can defy a penalty over this shorter trip if allowed his own way in front. The Grey One has risen 10lb for an easy win at Huntingdon last time but should be in the mix once again, while Salybia Bay produced a better effort at Warwick on her latest start and makes more appeal than Chargen, who was a well beaten third on his chasing bow.
