Nonrunner
There is a temptation to give the unexposed Ebony Song another chance after a solid debut in this company last time but he was well held so while there should be more to come the vote goes to ALDWICK BAY. Richard Hannon's runner was an easy winner at Windsor last time and he looks well treated under a penalty although the step down in trip might be a concern. Fifth Dimension was also a winner last time out but only just scored so his penalty might just stop a repeat while Fluvial should be seen to better effect with a couple of lb removed from his back. A tricky nursery to judge but Aldwick Bay looks well treated.
