Is It Off showed promise on Turf last season and over this trip at Kempton in January. He looks capable of going close in a race like this if fully wound-up while Bombshell Bay is sure to be popular having finished third at Chepstow since awarded a race here in April when He's Our Star was thrown out by the stewards, though the first past the post is now a pound better off. JACKPOT ROYALE has travelled down from the Midlands off the back of a much-improved second at Nottingham and any improvement of that effort should see Mick Appleby’s raider go one better. Grace's Secret is also worth considering while Carlini was favourite here last month, though looks held on an earlier run.
