Verdict
It's difficult to see past SPRING BLOOM (NAP) here as he has gone up 7lb for completing a Windsor double last week and can race off his previous mark as that was an apprentice race. Sir Henry Cotton was caught right on the line on his hat-trick attempt at Haydock and any further rain would be to his advantage. Mattice was staying on nicely over the extended 5f course at York and like Alligator Alley may be suited by an extra furlong. The Thin Blue Line has been very busy but thrives on racing and can get into contention again.
