Verdict
SINGING THE BLUES is enjoying a purple patch with a string of excellent performances which have seen his handicap mark inevitably rise. However, he still appeared to score with a little up his sleeve at Bath last time and he sees out this trip well enough though there's a doubt over him should conditions deteriorate markedly while Nuits St Georges doesn't have much mileage on the clock and is operating off a feasible mark. He'll be all the better for his reappearance run at Doncaster last month and is expected to play a leading role. Bodacious Name stays further but handles ground with cut and his assured stamina could prove valuable so he's respected along with Swordbill and Manor Park.
