In depth
Verdict
Lahina Bay landed a double including a course and distance success back in June but that’s it in the way of winning form. Warminster was beaten only a neck at Yarmouth last time but the less exposed DONE DECISION makes more appeal. Beaten a head over the extended 5f at Bath recently, he’ll appreciate this slightly longer trip with improvement expected now handicapping. Baulac also makes his handicap debut and looks best of the rest.
