        Verdict

        Another race where punters are playing a guessing game if getting involved without insider knowledge as to how some of these have been progressing at home. And the first to watch out for when the betting opens is the Martin Pipe-trained Murat, who could be anything in spite of his less than exclusive pedigree. However, Rocket Bleu took well to this game on his debut and sets a fair standard out of those with experience and he looks a safer option today. Predestine and Yourman are others to include on the shortlist - with the first-named expected to pose the selection the biggest threat here. Kim Bailey does well with this type of horse and Predestine would not have to improve much to make a good race of it. But Rocket Bleu comes a long way for this and, as he can be expected to go on the ground, he is taken to cope with all the challenges and carry his penalty home.
