Upsilon Bleu has been raised 7lb for winning a Doncaster last time and most of the others are facing tougher tasks than of late. Dormello Mo and Indian Voyage are upped in class on the back of recent placed efforts and Just Cameron's second at Doncaster in January came in a less competitive race. Savello has been competing in pattern company and could go well and SIMPLY NED also drops in class. The latter was beaten only a length by Flemenstar in a Grade 1 at Leoparstown in December and having placed again in Grade 2 company at Naas last time, Nicky Richard's chaser gets the vote in this.
