Verdict
Blue Aegean is penalised for an easy win over 5f at Chelmsford last time. But an earlier failed attempt at today's trip is off-putting and HARRY HURRICANE (NAP) is preferred. The latter showed plenty of pace when beating a subsequent winner over 7f at Wolverhampton last time so the drop back in distance should not prove a problem. Volunteer Point made a winning start when landing a maiden race over track and trip last month and may well prove too good for the likes of Ertidaad and Galago with improvement expected.
