Verdict
Bumble Bay is 20lb lower than when winning at Newton Abbot in 2016 and showed signs of life when fourth here recently so can’t be ignored. THIRD ESTATE was beaten again when favourite for a seller at Newton Abbot on Monday but this isn’t much better and he probably wouldn’t be winning out of turn. Marju's Quest gave a bold sight at Market Rasen last month but weakened once headed and looks held by Bumble Bay on the form book. Never A Word ran his best race so far at Bangor in August and makes more appeal than the other four-year-old Let's Be Happy.
