Verdict

The last ten renewals have been won by a four or five-year-old and the Irish raider COLOUR BLUE makes some appeal. She turned over an odds-on shot over today's trip at Tipperary last month and is well drawn to take up her preferred role just off the lead. Alejandro and Capo Rosso also like to race prominently and both were placed on the same card at Haydock last month while Marcret and Apostle scored over track and trip last year and are others to consider. The latter is preferred to Rene Mathis, who wears the same colours, but One Word More has been raised 7lb for winning at Thirsk recently when well ahead of Newstead Abbey.
