Dublin Bay³⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: S D Bowen| T: Ollie Sangster| OR: 74| BF| D

Pull The Rug²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: O J Orr| T: E Bethell| OR: 71| D

11/1

Promising type. 4/1, career best when winning 9-runner nursery at Leicester (6f, good) 25 days ago, well on top finish. A 6 lb rise may not stop her with further progress likely.

Form: 75431

Forecasts

Romeo Montague (7/4), Sioux Perfect (5/1), Dublin Bay (6/1), Love Olivia (13/2), Ten Carat Harry (7/1), Dandy's Rocket (9/1), Pull The Rug (11/1), Alaskan Light (18/1)

There should be more to come from Leicester nursery debut scorer PULL THE RUG who can make light of a 6 lb rise. Dublin Bay has failing to handle soft ground as a plausible excuse for a poor run at Salisbury and can bounce straight back and provide the chief threat ahead of recent Chelmsford runner-up Dandy's Rocket.
