Race preview
The in-form Olly Murphy takes the wraps off a couple of expensive newcomers in the shape of Drayton Flyer (56,000 pounds) and Harbour Island (70,000 euros) and they must be respected. Full Force Gale repaid some of his 60,000-pound price tag by scoring first time out at Ffos Las, but he may struggle to successfully concede 7lb to BLUE BELLAMY, who stepped up on his Rules debut when a close second at Market Rasen.
