RACE STATS

LEADING COURSE TRAINER (17-22): T Carroll (55 wins from 444 runners, 12%) runs LATENT HEAT & LOCAL BAY TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): G L Moore (6 wins from 27 runners, 22%) runs BRILLIANT BLUE LONGEST TRAVELLER: LATENT HEAT & LOCAL BAY trained by T Carroll, Cropthorne, 175 miles.

RACE SUMMARY

LOCAL BAY produced his best effort on grass for a while when third at Chepstow last month, finishing with running left, and looks capable of cashing in on his much-reduced turf mark. Optiva Star was runner-up in a slightly deeper 3-y-o handicap than this at Epsom last week so rates the main threat ahead of Heer’s Sadie.
