Palifico is conceding wight to the younger horses in this having placed in handicaps recently and BRIDES BAY can take advantage. The latter was beaten less than a length at Wolverhampton on her reappearance and looks capable of winning at this level on that evidence. Cityjet was no match for the winner when runner-up at Wolverhampton though is fitted with a hood and makes more appeal than Bluebird. Rumailah is related to a winner and is a newcomer to note.
