BATHSHEBA BAY has been very consistent since upped to 1m2f and is unlikely to be far away again here receiving weight all round. Frontispiece returns from a break but would have every chance on his best form. Awake My Soul won this last year and was back to form at Ripon 10 days ago when finishing a place ahead of Grandee but Swiss Storm was raised 4lb for finishing second at Newbury. Cote d'Azur and Mooltazem are back in the right grade and Finniston Farm began the season with a second in the European Free Handicap. He’s 5lb lower now but still has his stamina to prove over this longer distance. Ibraz had looked progressive prior to his run at Newmarket and could easily bounce back over a trip that should suit.
