DECLARED RUNNERS 11 2022: WORLD TRIP 7 11 3 Fergus Gregory 9-2 (Olly Murphy) 7 ran

Sheepskin Cheek Pieces worn first time by No 1. Hood worn by No 2, 8. Blinkers worn by No 4.

Visor worn by No 11. Tongue Strap worn by No 10 Sheepskin Cheek Pieces worn by No 5, 7.

Stewards Note:

BRAGANZA BAY: Following its run on 10/1/2023 it was reported that the horse hung right handed throughout.

Probable S.P’s: 9-2 The Wise Traveller (IRE), 6-1 The Skiffle King (IRE), 13-2 Robbie Dazzler (GB),

7-1 The Bandit (IRE), 8-1 Ratoute Yutty (GB), 11-1 Tiny Tantrum (IRE), 12-1 Braganza Bay (GB), 16-1 Let’s Go Amigo (IRE), 20-1 Wye Aye (GB), Richardson (GB), 28-1 Galactic Power (IRE)

THE BANDIT caught the eye when a strong-finishing fifth at Uttoxeter last time and can capitalise on a very handy-looking mark to register his first success Ratoute Yutty should be spot on after her recent fifth here so this dual C&D scorer rates a big threat though, with Robbie Dazzler and Let’s Go Amigo two more who need factoring in.
