FormscanBy Alan Magee - CERULEAN BAY has struck a rich vein of form with a trio of wins all over this trip and, despite a combined rise of 13lb in the ratings, may still be ahead of the handicapper. The David O’Meara-trained gelding appeared to win with a bit in hand when beating Cuban Tiger by a neck at Thirsk and the booking of Colin Keane adds to confidence. Rahmi has been placed in a number of valuable handicaps this year including over this trip at Chepstow last time, while Havana Blue and Garfield Shadow also come here in good form. Physique, Hurricane Ivor and Dunum, runner-up in this race last year, filled the first three places in the Ahonoora Handicap over this trip at the Galway Festival.
