Verdict
Blade Runner has an excellent record here and sports obvious claims after a satisfactory reappearance at the track last month. Connections have dispensed with the cheekpieces used on recent starts in favour of a first-time visor and the six-year-olds should go close. However, he does have to give 18lb to LARGY NIGHTS and the Longsdon runner looks interesting after showing notably improved form when successful when last seen in April. He does make his seasonal reappearance here but the yard is ticking along nicely at present. Mr Washington probably needs to improve on latest efforts, but Game Line does enter the equation. His last success came in May last year but his last two runs have been solid and he ought to be in the mix on that evidence.
