OXWICH BAY escapes a penalty for beating Palixandre over four lengths over a slightly longer trip here last weekend as it was a conditionals' race. The runner-up led to the last but Niall Moore on the winner had a bit up his sleeve and the placings should be confirmed. Shallow Run went up 9lb for scoring at Musselburgh in January and is up another 2lb after another good run there last time. Summer Lightening, a winning bumper and twice successful over hurdles, hasn't been in the best of form and has her first run over fences while Rooster Cogburn was engaged at Stratford yesterday.
