Malin Bay is up 8lb for his recent victory at Perth and steps up a grade along with Lord Grantham, who arrives on the back of a double at Ffos Las. Lava Lamp failed to cope with a 12lb hike in the weights when well beaten at the same track but Scotswell should be thereabouts off his current mark. Church Field faces a much tougher task after recording a hat-trick in May while Taigan is doubly engaged with an entry at Market Rasen today. TORNADO BOB took advantage of a slide down the weights to score at Worcester last time and now back to something like his best is fancied to go in again.
