BAY OF NAPLES returned to winning ways with a convincing success at Southwell a week ago. He’s won on this surface before and is taken to defy a 5lb penalty. Plansina has been in good form over shorter trips here having won two of her last four outings while Arlecchino's Arc moves in the opposite direction having scored over 2m at Lingfield back in August. By Jove was only beaten a length over 1m2f on only his second outing for Mick Appleby’s yard and may prove best of the rest.
