LOCAL BAY was unlucky not to finish closer when third at Chepstow last month, keeping on when short of room entering the final 100 yds, and ran creditably here yesterday, so he can take advantage of his lower turf mark this time around. Paco's Pride ran her best race when second at Bath 22 days ago and could be the main danger, with Brilliant Blue completing the shortlist.
