Cymraeg Bounty has more to do than when winning over 6f at Redcar but he has a good strike rate and his yard continue in decent form. Any market interest in the returning Sun'aq would be significant while Ice Age looks a danger to all off bottom weight. Russian Realm and Muir Lodge would have claims on their best form but Shore Step has disappointed in a light campaign this year. QUIXOTE drops down a grade having shown up well in both starts to date for Tony Carroll and he could upset his in-form stablemate Bouclier and the others, despite a big weight.
