Verdict
Plenty of the bigger yards represented here, in what could prove to be a competitive little heat. Al Turf, from the same family as the useful sprinter Andreyev is much respected, while Bi Polar hails from the same family as Geoff Wraggs' useful filly Cassandra Go. Blazonry, from a yard who has plenty of ammunition to fire in these events, is sure to know his job and will be a danger to all. Impersonator, a half-brother to middle-distance winner In Disuise, will obviously stay further in time, but could well be sharp enough to take this. Swift Tango, from the same family as the high class Enrique and Vazon, are others to note.
