        towards rear, never dangerous

        In depth

        Verdict

        Illustrious Blue gets one last chance to get his head in front with London Express and Sapienza rating the main dangers. The selection was a good second behind Posessed last time out. That form sets the standard in the context of this race and under conditions that suit and from a good draw he will be hard to beat. London Express rates the main danger on his debut second behind Military Cross he looks sure to improve and should be noted in the market. Sapienza was a fair second on his debut behind King Alfie and is another that is sure to improve but he just gave the impression that he will be suited by a longer trip and for that reason is opposed. Of the remainder Pukka Tique is a well bred type and should be noted in the market but he may come on for the run and for the winner we return to Illustrious Blue who sets a fair standard.
