      Verdict

      Bamboo Bay won in a lower grade at Chester last week while Haunted Dream is 8lb higher than when successful at Lingfield back in April. Most of the remainder step up in distance including Ripon runner-up Fishable and the stablemates Enfranchise and Approachability with the latter the least exposed. UNPLUGGED is also open to improvement having won over 1m2f here on his first start since 2019 and debut for the Easterbys’ yard. Needing only to be pushed out on that occasion, he can defy a 3lb rise.
