Verdict

A winner from his much-reduced mark over C&D on his penultimate start, SETTLE FOR BAY shaped better than the bare result when seventh in a 7f event back here 5 weeks ago, forced very wide and ultimately left poorly placed. He remains with a good deal of handicapping scope and gets the vote to resume winning ways. Bobby K and handicap debutant Behind The Wall head up the dangers.

  1. SETTLE FOR BAY (FR)
  2. BOBBY K (IRE)
  3. BEHIND THE WALL (IRE)
