Sunblazer improved to finish runner-up over C&D last time. He looks sure to be thereabouts again and is preferred to Brighton third Pinarius. However, POOR DUKE has the strongest form as his second at Yarmouth to Indigo Lady seems much better in hindsight as the latter has since gone close in a Group 3 race in France. The rest have a bit to find with Unison and Pairumani Prince perhaps coming out best of them.
