Verdict
SAN FRANCISCO BAY couldn't live with the well-backed favourite Shady Bay over this C&D recently, but that was a creditable effort nonetheless and he is the most tempting proposition in this line-up. West Wickham and Roman Secret are taken to fill the places in that order of preference, while it will be interesting to see if money arrives for handicap debutantes Lilac Wine or Satyress.

VerdictLightly-raced maiden. Very good sixth of 10 in handicap (11/2) at Wetherby (10f, good to firm) 46 days ago, but will need to step up on that if he's to open his account in this contest.

VerdictSixth of 9 in handicap (6/1) at Beverley (9.9f, good to firm) 24 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Eased 3 lb since and while he needs to raise his game a touch, that is by no means impossible.
