        Verdict

        Though Note Bleu hasn’t looked like winning so far, he is improving and is proven over track and trip. Amir Kabir caught the eye at Newbury in the autumn when meeting trouble in-running and will know more today. Tepui is also a likely improver having run green at Lingfield last month while Artillery is a half-brother to a Listed winner, though has a middle-distance pedigree. DRIVING FORCE’s dam placed three times here over 7f and 1m so the Sir Percy colt should have the pace for this and is worth a market check.
