Verdict
SUNBLAZER (NAP) was well beaten when third over track and trip recently but won this off a 5lb higher mark last year and Jim Crowley's presence suggests a big run is on the cards today. Conkering Hero struggled in the Cesarewitch last time but notched up a hat-trick of wins over 2m on the all-weather during the summer while Maquisard was runner-up at Goodwood when last on the Flat. Rydan has done all his winning over shorter trips so far.
