Verdict

NIGG BAY can get back to winning ways here following a close defeat in a bunch finish at the Curragh earlier this month. The Colin Keane-ridden gelding can step up here and wouldn't have to improve much to be clear of this field at this level. The Edward Lynam yard have a terrific record at this meeting and Soffia can build on her win at the Curragh earlier this month.
