A winner twice over 7f, Bay Of Naples has been getting closer again lately. Rocket Dancer justified strong market support at Newcastle three weeks ago and should be thereabouts again off a 4lb higher mark. Course winner Kenstone has decent claims in this grade and Air Of York, who has also been successful around here, has placed the last twice. Recent Bath winner Kendergarten Kop has won twice on Polytrack but BEATBYBEATBYBEAT is back on the same mark as when scoring over track and trip in February and looked as though his turn was near again here last month.
