Verdict
Cousin Shay won a 7f handicap here then pulled too hard when tackling this trip before staying on. Zonik won a course and distance handicap, with Malaysian behind, but couldn't handle a 6lb rise on a return visit. Hurricane Helen is a course specialist at Bath and has joined Denis Hogan. IINDIANA GREY won twice here around this time last year and is back on a winnable mark. She wouldn't have enjoyed testing ground the last twice after scoring at Cork and can get back on the winning trail.
