      Verdict

      SINGING THE BLUES has never won off a mark this high but he remains in cracking form and easily beat Elhafei and Estrela Star at Wolverhampton last time - Rod Millman’s charge is probably worth sticking with. Agent Basterfield will have needed his run at Sandown while Baladio and Sufi finished close up here last month. Champs De Reves could figure if back on song having won here in the past along with Tralee Hills.
