Betties Bay won at Newbury last month and is weighted to beat the other recent winner Adaay In Devon. But both are penalised and AL HUJAIJA can take advantage. The latter failed to see out the 7f trip at Newmarket last time but went close over today’s distance at Newbury before that. Toosha ran well over the minimum trip at Thirsk and may improve further with Ruling Sovereign preferred of the rest.
