Bold Adventure won over track and trip at the start of last month but made no impression at Newbury next time when tried in this grade. Vaillant Creek is still a maiden and lacks an extra gear but Roll On Ruby could be interesting if recapturing the form he showed last summer and Vesuvhill will be thereabouts if handling the step up in distance. GAYE MEMORIES came good around this time last year and her latest fourth at Newbury, following a break, suggested a return to form was imminent - Bridget Andrews can put her claim to good use in this.
