Verdict
A switch to front-running tactics witnessed BLU BOY return an easy winner at Newcastle last week. He’s penalised for that but is due to be raised by a further 6lb and can take advantage. Alhaajeb is expected to improve now handicapping and is preferred to stablemate Ventura Vision while the Hannon yard won this in 2019 but Dillydingdillydong returns to action along with Typical Man and Bois De Norton.
