        Verdict

        BILLY BLUE was sent off odds-on for his latest start at Lingfield but found one too good. John Gosden's colt can make amends in this and is preferred to stablemates Attenzione and Anglo Irish. Al Busayyir also makes more appeal than his stable companion Damascene after making the frame once again at Wolverhampton, while Fractal has some improving to do if he's to finish thereabouts. Galuppi and Raging Bob are newcomers to keep an eye on in the betting.
