Formscan  - ESPONA BAY has filled the runner-up berth in each of his three previous starts on the all-weather and has shown enough to suggest a handicap at this level is within his range. A recent switch in stables could have sweetened him up and a 2lb rise for his latest effort looks manageable. Arishka's Dream is 2lb well-in and must have every chance of exploiting that. Marra Donna and handicap newcomer Tactical Blitz are others to consider.
