Blazing Hills is a course and distance winner and is in tremendous form at present. On his penultimate start he adopted his usual front running tactics and was run out of it close home by Double Bogey Blues. Although a well beaten third at Uttoxeter last time out his style of racing suits Towcester and plenty in the race wont handle the undulating track. Inner Sanctum from the Venetia Williams stable has jumping problems and I cant see this one completing let alone winning the contest with his jumping record. Over Zealous is not getting any younger these days and although he is weighted to win a race like this, his level of form recently does not add up to much and needs improving on. With the likes of The Merry Mason and Maybeseven a touch inconsistent these days we feel the course lover and hard worker Blazing Hills can prevail.
