This looks quite trappy and we will nominate PACIFIC BAY to get the better of Poppy's Rose and Tellelle. Richard Fahey has his string in decent form and he will be hoping to get a return on his petrol money up to Scotland here. Pacific Bay is a lightly-raced filly and she wasn't beaten far behind Ray Of Joy at Kempton last time. She has a good draw today and she can make it count. Poppy's Rose looks to be back on a fair mark and she ran a respectable race last time at Wolverhampton when she finished third behind Chief Exec. Tellelle won a handicap at Dundalk back in May and although she has been a bit disappointing since, she is certainly one to consider, especially if the market speaks in her favour. Rothesay Dancer is a course and distance winner and he could provide a bit of each-way value in the race. However, we are happy to stick with Pacific Bay as our idea of the winner.
