Bell Walks Day had to battle to score at Ballinrobe last month after looking as though she'd win easily at one point. She now has a penalty but these look a largely modest bunch and she should make a bold bid to follow up. Vayland was scheduled to run at Hexham yesterday so it may be up to GHOST RIVER to thwart the mare. He makes his racecourse debut but his dam won a bumper on her first start and he's travelled up from west Wales for this.
