Verdict
Six One Nine has the strongest form of those with chasing experience as Royal Reserve made no show on his fencing bow at Perth in the spring, though that was his first run in 18 months. Ashjan is 0-12 over fences but has placed three times. Getaman placed over hurdles here last month and has won two point-to-points while Broadway Joe won over the smaller obstacles at Musselburgh at the start of the year. BLUEBERRY WINE was quite highly tried in maidens and novice events over timber. Still unexposed, he starts out over fences in modest company.
