Verdict

Saved My Bacon finished just ahead of Steel City Boy with Senora Lobo further behind when third over track and trip two weeks ago. She can figure again along with Forceful Beacon, a runner-up at Wolverhampton on his latest start but stepping up in trip for this. COTTRELL has just the one win at Dundalk to his name but has tumbled down the weights and the change of scenery may bring about a return to form as he debuts for a new yard. He gets a tentative vote with the lightly-raced Prominna needing to improve to get involved.
