In depth
Verdict
Though CAVALRY SCOUT jumped poorly when a well-beaten second at Ayr, he did win over track and trip in February so shouldn’t be far away again. Blue Monday didn’t get far on his reappearance at Perth but has been given time to get over that and won twice last season in this grade. Watar Allstar may be the pick of the remainder ahead of Indian Harbour and Anti Cool.
