Formscan  - It could pay to stick with TOP OF THE BAY, despite a 7lb rise for going in at Carlisle a fortnight ago. He was having only his third start for Sam England's yard when returning the ready winner and another good effort looks assured. Ribeye won this back in 2023 and is worthy of consideration after showing signs of a return to form at Newcastle. Am Still Here is one to note on his chasing debut.
