Beaten 5L by Tornado In Milan when finishing runner-up over C&D in February and performed with credit when fifth over hurdles at Uttoxeter last time. Stable are in good form (4/14) at present.
Followed up a Newton Abbot (heavy) win by finishing third at Cheltenham (2m, good) in the autumn and drops in grade having finished well beaten at the Cheltenham Festival last month on his return from a break.
Chasing a hat-trick following wins here and at Ludlow (good-to-soft) over this trip. Had Overtown Express behind him here in February and is one to note in this contest.
Classy chaser a couple of years ago but refused to race at Leicester in February prior to falling early on here later that month. Well held at Cheltenham last time out.
In good form since returning from a break winning twice from five starts and was beaten just a neck at Ascot (2m1f, soft) last time out. Likely to prove hard to beat racing off the same mark today. Also declared 15:35 Plumpton.
Saw off Tornado In Milan when winning over an extended 2m at Haydock (heavy) in January. Ran well in defeat twice since and receives weight from all of his rivals today.
Forecasts
Beau Bay (7/4), Tornado In Milan (3/1), Overtown Express (5/1), Sizing Platinum (13/2), Bright New Dawn (8/1), Ubaltique (8/1)
BEAU BAY can record his seventh career success and third victory since returning from a break by taking this 2m handicap chase. Richard Newland's charge was narrowly beaten last time out and can get the better of top weight Overtown Express who's stable can boast a 29% strike-rate (4/14) in recent weeks. Tornado In Milan can claim third in his bid to register a third consecutive victory.
