BLUEBERRY HILL (NAP) found only a subsequent handicap winner too good over track and trip on his debut and the third has also won since. The Gosden’s colt gets the nod on that form. Night Of Luxury finished runner-up when sent off favourite at Wolverhampton and is preferred to the other likely improvers Convection and Laasudood though Art Expert has yet to figure. Sense Of Power and Distant Light, a half-sister to a Group 3 winner, are newcomers to note for powerful yards.
