      Verdict

      This looks to be a good opportunity for Fabuleux Cherie, who is preferred to Blue Jack and Castles In The Air. The selection has been knocking on the door of late and a reproduction of her latest effort here should see her get her head in front. She looks progressive and although she has never tackled this trip before, she still looks the one to be with. Blue Jack is a stablemate of the selection and he won on his debut, but it was a weak race and he will need to improve to score again here. Castles In The Air ran well from a wide draw at Pontefract last time and if he handles the surface on his all-weather debut then he can get competitive. Monaazalah could prove best of the rest, but Fabuleux Cherie holds solid claims and gets the vote.
