In depth
Verdict
Blanc De Chine made a promising debut at Bath and was out of her depth in the Weatherbys Super Sprint next time. But she disappointed when favourite at Sandown earlier this month and is best treated with caution now. Beau Mistral is starting to look exposed and it's a surprise to see the stoutly-bred Sunley Valentine over 5f after two runs over 7f. THE RISING couldn't quicken over 6f at Redcar last month but is probably worth another chance back over this trip and gets the vote.
