    Verdict

    It’s a surprise to see BLU CAVALIER dropped into a seller as he’s won three of his seven hurdle starts and been placed in two others. Third in an above-average beginners’ chase at Bangor on his reappearance, he should be much too good for these. Vancouver, placed in this grade the last twice, looks the one for forecast-backers ahead of Cliffside Park and Schap.
