De Blanc could be the answer to this tricky contest with Supreme Serenade and Samsaam rated as the main dangers. The selection won easily last time out at Ludlow when defeating Cashel Dancer, and as that was her first run since May, she should come on for that and be capable of defying a penalty to follow-up here. Supreme Serenade rates the main danger on the pick of his form but he has not been seen on the racetrack since March so is probably best watched on this occasion. Samsaam is eased in grade but he was well beaten last time out and he will need to improve to take a hand in the finish here. Andreas is from a leading yard and is another to consider, but for the winner we return to De Blanc.
