Verdict
Dual bumper winner VEGAS BLUE came good over hurdles at the first time of asking when scoring easily at Huntingdon on her reappearance. The runner-up has won subsequently so the form looks solid enough and she gets the vote. Switch Hitter should be straighter for last month’s outing at Fakenham when a long way behind the progressive Here Comes Johny, who has won again since, while Malinello makes most appeal of the remainder on his return to action.
