Record Breaker has had plenty of chances over hurdles while Shallow Bay has also become expensive to follow. Forresters Folly may have need his run here earlier in the month, though his Ascot third is looking increasingly like a one-off. BATHCOUNTY still has a bit of scope and, though still to prove he stays this far, could appreciate today's quicker surface. He gets a tentative vote though any market move for Irish import Dursey Sound would have to be taken seriously in this company.
