WATERLOO DOCK bounced back to form when making all over 6f here a week ago. He scored with a bit in hand too so Mick Quinn's C&D winner looks likely to follow-up if allowed his own way up front once again. Crocodile Bay has been threatening a return to winning ways and went close again at Wolverhampton last time having finished ahead of Jonnie Skull when runner-up at Southwell before that. Lovat Lane posted a better effort at Kempton a fortnight ago though she's yet to win a race and Ermyntrude looks best of the rest.
