Verdict

A tricky handicap in which Xaluna Bay is chanced against Taboor and Forest Dane. The step down to five furlongs could well work the oracle for Xaluna Bay who showed plenty of speed on his most recent start. Headed inside the final furlong, there was plenty to be gleaned on the day and there is every chance that similar tactics may work here. Taboor won twice on the turf prior to an absence of four months. Robert Cowell's stable form has been patchy of late so the hat-trick is far from assured. Overwing won at Epsom off a mark of 70 and is attempting to defy a career high mark on this occasion. Forest Dane is another to drop in trip having not quite got six over forcing tactics. Millinsky has a poor draw and might be best watched this afternoon. Peter Grayson's sprinters are noted for their consistency so Lady Bahia is worth more than a cursory glance in the market. Zarzu and Little Edward would have serious chances on their old form but neither seem to be troubling the judge at the moment. Xaluna Bay is well drawn and in good heart and these attributes could be enough on Tuesday.
