Another relatively small field here and CARLY BAY is taken to come good at the main expense of Mylord Collonges and Misbehaviour. Trainer Gerry Enright has already won a chase with the mare Carly Bay and in doing so she underlined her preference for bottomless ground. This trip is just about ideal for her in the prevailing conditions and after a recent pipe opener over hurdles she should be spot on for this. Mylord Collonges has AP McCoy up, which will probably clip a little off his price, and although he loves this ground he is running over a trip shorter than his best here and it remains to be seen if he has the speed for this. Misbehaviour won a couple of sellers for Jim Best on rain-soaked ground and he too had a recent outing to blow off the cobwebs. With the yard in form he is not discounted. Pauntley Gofa is bang out of form at present but Trigger Guard is interesting in this sphere for the first time and a market watch is advised. Carly Bay is taken to score.
