Ballygown Bay has been looking one-paced in his races and may need further though further rain would help. The Go Tou Man had shown little until better a much better effort at Southwell and wouldn't need much more to get into contention. Winning point-to-pointer KILCULLEN BELLAMY led for a long way over further at Newton Abbot and, down in class here, should make a bold bid from the front. Dan Skelton has two entries and Global Ruler looked progressive when last seen finishing second at Southwell though that was in March last year. Cock A Doodle Doo also represents the yard but was a disappointing favourite on her UK debut at Ludlow after transferring from Ireland where she won a Sligo maiden in August. Winning bumper Destined To Shine ran his best race to date on his final start at Bangor in March and is on the same mark while Neachells Bridge has shown some potential.
