Blessed Place can land the closing apprentices race with Feminist, Noble Mount and Indian Bazaar among the more likelier dangers. Blessed Place continues to run well up to his form - his latest effort seeing him finish second to Coranglais at Nottingham. He seems equally effective over five and goes well for an apprentice rider. Front running Feminist is of interest on a return back to turf. Travis Block cannot claim in this race and the fact that Milton Bradley has come here at unfavourable terms has to be a huge pointer to his confidence. Noble Mount made the best of a favourable draw to beat Flying Tackle at Beverley. Flying Tackle is in good heart but could be a tricky ride in this "hands and heels" race. Indian Bazaar was slightly disappointing on his most recent start at Newbury. Preference for the Harris camp looks to be with Elliot's Choice. He was well beaten on Saturday night over six furlongs but is a much better horse over today's trip. A tricky race with plenty of imponderables but Blessed Place's consistency at low levels is another to sway our thinking in his direction.
