Verdict
This looks tricky as Binowagh Bay travels over from County Sligo on the back of a much-improved run at Punchestown and she makes more appeal than the maiden Grand Vintage. Deny won over 2m here in January and was second over course and distance behind Nefyn Bay last month but the less-exposed SIMMPLY SAM won nicely at Ayr and Jeremiah McGrath again takes off 3lb. That means she gets 11lb from recent Musselburgh winner Sendiym, who would have appreciated a faster surface.
