Formscan  - ESPONA BAY is still learning his trade and was a little unfortunate to bump into a progressive rival at Kempton. Although absent since that effort in October, the handicapper has only raised him 1lb and with a handy draw to work from, he could gain compensation. There are a number of threats, primarily Southwell winner Grey Horizon. Far Too Fizzy does not lack for speed and that may well tee things up nicely for the selection.
