Verdict
Restless Bay has done all his winning at Wolverhampton so far and was beaten over C&D earlier this month by Monsieur Jamie. The latter has now won three times over track and trip but was put firmly in his place by EVEN STEVENS back in December. Dandy Nicholl's sprinter ended his winning sequence when fourth to the progressive Fred Willetts last time but should be fresh from a two month break and is taken to resume winning ways. This is much tougher than the maiden Mazovian won here recently, while Liberty Green and Oneladyowner have something to prove on their Fibresand debuts.
