Verdict

Beau Bay has already won twice this season and 3m around here should be right up his street. But, like Antony, he was pulled up last time. POTTERS LEGEND is starting to slip down the weights again and is eased in grade for this so gets a tentative vote, though he will need a decent gallop. Drumlee Sunset is best watched following a very long absence and Oh Land Abloom has never won over fences.
