Race preview
BATHGATE was denied by four lengths into second in a stronger event at Doncaster last month and is only 2lb higher. Philip Kirby's five-year-old will appreciate this drop in grade and it would be no surprise to see him make it two wins from his last three starts. Sea Legend produced a better effort to finish second at Musselburgh in November and could get involved. Of the remainder, Far Away West makes the most appeal.
