Dropping back in distance might help Doncaster runner-up Hollow Blue Sky but he's still 6lb higher than when taking this in 2014. Here I Am has been off the track since winning over course and distance in October while Its A Sting is best watched until showing signs of a revival. VAZARO DELAFAYETTE (NAP) was wayward on his reappearance over 3m here two weeks ago but still managed to finish within seven lengths of the winner. He's unquestionably well handicapped at present and is probably worth a chance to make amends now fitted with blinkers. Morgan's Bay is slipping down the handicap but is now approaching the veteran stage.
