Unless the betting suggests differently, we will take a chance on Ronaldsay here, with Bay Of Light and Bright Moon also making it onto the shortlist. Bay Of Light has shown promise in each start and, given that this is the weakest race she has contested, she has to be granted all due respect today. Bright Moon improved on run two to finish second at Kempton and, even though that form is not that strong, neither is this race. Double Guest comes into it based on her third to Peter Chapple Hyam's Dora Explorer over course and distance last time, and Peter is responsible for Bay Of Light today. Ronaldsay is better than her Kempton Park debut finishing position suggested last time and we expect a much bigger performance today, while Zehooa missed the kick at Yarmouth last time before then showing promise and she too must be considered. In truth, it's a race where the betting might provide you with some clues. Without that, we will side with Ronaldsay.
