        Verdict

        A couple of three-year-olds have won this in recent years but Red Bay will do well to emulate them as he hasn't been seen since scoring at Kempton in December. Main Beach landed a Redcar seller before defeats in better handicaps but he's now on a fair mark and is on the short-list though this could be yet another victory over his favourite track for ROUGH ROCK, who has already won six times here. Frognal last won a race over this C&D in October and he's only 1lb higher but Zacynthus has failed to fire since making a winning debut in June 2010 and has been beaten a long way in his three latest starts.
