A Little Bit Dusty should be in the firing-line once again and makes more appeal than the out of sorts One Way Or Another. Right Regal has every chance at the weights and a bold bid looks likely from him in this grade but we'll stick with RESTLESS BAY. He's been running well in handicaps either side of a close-up second in a seller at Leicester and Reg Hollinshead's charge can return to winning ways back at this track. The remainder look up against it on today's terms.
