Second over 1m4f here in July, Singing The Blues was only beaten a short-head last time at Bath but does looks to be a shade high in the weights at present. Gwafa was second over 2m at Newmarket on only his second run back following a break but Lord George is having a first run since April and is best on Polytrack. HORATIO STAR possibly found 2m1f a shade too far at Bath last month having won over this trip at the same track previously. He has been quite lightly-raced and should have the measure of these.
