In depth

Verdict

BLUE BICYCLE has done enough in three decent bumpers to suggest he can take this as the opposition doesn't look strong. Notification ran well on his debut over 2m3f at Naas but moderately over this trip on his only subsequent start while Saluting also appeared to be suited by further when running well over that same C&D at Naas in March. Wells China has a decent pedigree and may do best of the remainder.
