Verdict
Narrowly beaten in the Royal Hunt Cup at Ascot on his first start since October, BLAIR HOUSE should make another bold bid and confirm running with Gm Hopkins, Master The World, Hors De Combat and George William. Greenside continued his good progress with a course and distance success and has the beating of Glory Awaits and Sir Roderic on that form while Secret Art is just 3lb higher than when winning this last year and has already scored at Windsor this season. Naval Warfare was upped 11lb for winning his handicap debut at Leicester and faces a stiffer task but Ryan Moore partners El Hayem today and much better is expected from him back on good ground.
