Hazy Bay was scheduled to run in a better race at Plumpton yesterday so we're going to stick with the in-form KILLIMORE COTTAGE to complete his hat-trick. Peter Hiatt's charge never does more than is necessary and, after only four starts over hurdles, may be good enough to confirm Market Rasen running with Life Long and defy a further 4lb rise. Indian Citizen ran a bit better when given a test of stamina at Taunton and could be interesting near the foot of the handicap but Oscar Baby ran poorly on her only start since last May and the disappointing Glenford Dorie is now tried in blinkers. Marie Deja La's third at Fontwell was her best run for a while but she may not be one to rely on.
