A trappy contest rounds off the card with Ballygally Bay, Hallucinate and Dawn At Sea the three we like and the vote is given to Richard Fahey's Hallucinate. The selection ran as though returning to form last time at Redcar when a fair third behind Jaafi. That was his best effort for a while and he may be worth supporting now that he has shown signs of hitting some form. Ballygally Bay made a really pleasing debut at Newcastle when he looked like winning before fading and finishing fourth behind Best Prospect. He will need to improve to get his head in front here but if he does then he will not be far away at the finish. Dawn At Sea was well beaten on her debut but she hails from a leading yard and as she is sure to come on for the run she is one not to dismiss lightly. Jeffslottery often threatens to win a race but then ends up disappointing and he is beginning to look tripless. Bryan Smart's Shankly Bond could be the best of the remainder, but for the winner we will stick with Hallucinate who may be able to make his experience count.
