    Verdict

    Corruption was engaged yesterday at Fontwell. BLAZER’S MILL is a half-brother to two winners and changed hands for £160,000 after finishing second in a maiden point at Tyrella in March. Olly Murphy’s charge should have the pace for this so gets the nod. Sojourn led up the straight when fourth at Newbury a year ago and rates a danger as the form of that race has worked out well. Misty Whisky is a sister to One For Rosie, an impressive winner of a Carlisle bumper on his debut under Rules, and a half-sister to useful hurdler Air Force One so any market support would be significant.
