Verdict
Singing The Blues has gone well on both starts at this venue and is respected accordingly but the handicapper may now have his measure. Miss Latin should be suited by this drop in trip whilst Zoffany Bay hasn't been seen on the level for nearly a year and is best watched unless the market speaks strongly of his chance. PANATOS has been in solid form since joining Alexandra Dunn and the ex-French colt is expected to set out to make his guaranteed stamina count over this drop in trip with Fallon claiming a valuable 5lb. Royal Flag is another stayer who rarely runs a bad race and the reliable northern challenger also has a strong claim under Ben Robinson.
