Colwyn Bay is in a rich vein of form at present and he can extend his winning sequence at the main expense of Josh You Are and Jayer Gilles. The selection is not the easiest of rides but he does get on well with Jamie Spencer and he was good value for his winning margin last time. He gives the impression that there is more in the tank and he should take plenty of beating. Josh You Are has yet to win on the turf but he scored impressively enough at Lingfield last time when beating Selkirk Grace. This step-up in trip should suit and we expect him to run a big race. Jayer Gilles won at Bath last time when the headgear worked the oracle for him. That is his only career win so he looks a risky proposition, especially if the visor does not have the same impact today. Blue Hills will have no problems seeing out this trip and he is capable of getting competitive here if he is in the mood. But a safer bet looks to be Colwyn Bay who can provide another winner for Jamie Spencer and complete the hat-trick.
