The maiden Above Us Only Sky started favourite for a similar-class handicap a couple of weeks ago but could never get to the leaders. He had Bubbly Bellini and tonight's first reserve Acari behind but both were impeded at crucial stages and should get closer. TENNESSE WALTZ, a dual winner on Turf in the summer, ran very well at that same fixture and Sean Corby's claim is a bonus. He looks ready to get back to winning ways but Bluesbreaker has never won on the all-weather nor over this trip and his latest run was over the minimum. Hes Our Music was racing off an 18lb higher mark a year ago and should be winning again soon.
