EMPTY NEST (1) is in top form. Followed a third at Wetherby with a narrow victory at Newcastle (2m4f) and rates the most likely winner. TOP OF THE BAY (2) races without a win in 11 starts. Did manage a strong second at Newcastle last time. May finally break through. YES AND YES (4) won at Chepstow in a. Placed at Warwick last start. Going well of late and looks a genuine threat. LADY HAMILTON (10) was a fair fifth when resuming over 2m7 1/2f. Fitter and might feature tackling a more suitable trip.
