Course winner TRANSIENT BAY is a useful handicapper to have onside as he still looks on a decent handicap mark. With Nathan Moscrop claiming 5lb, must go close if ready for his first run since the second day of April. He handles any ground from soft to heavy and just gets the nod over promising youngster Black Ivory. The latter hails from the massively in-form Jefferson yard, has shown a solid level of form on all starts and has room for plenty of progression after only half-dozen starts - he also enjoys the benefit of guaranteed fitness so is well worth a saver. Karisma King completes the short-list as he showed his turn was near when hunting up the well-treated Theatrebar at Sedgefield this month and runs off an unchanged mark here.
