In depth
Verdict
Blue Hero is on a roll but will have to defy a further 6lb rise to complete a hat-trick of course victories. Accrington Stanley has been knocking on the door but MABO was an easy winner here three weeks ago under similar conditions and Grace Harris’ charge can defy a 7lb rise if producing a similar effort. Fitzrovia has become a little inconsistent and Headora was another to disappoint last time but the lightly-raced Breakaway is worth a market check having only a second run on Turf.
