Verdict

Christian Bendix, Blakeshall Quest and Blue Power look the three to concentrate on in another tough race for punters and the vote is given to Christian Bendix. The selection won well last time out when beating Blakeshall Quest and although that rival is better off at the weights here the selection won with a little in hand and he is taken to confirm his superiority over that rival here. Blakeshall Quest is sure to have his supporters on these revised terms but he is hard to win with. Blue Power is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he is another that does not win very often. Of the remainder, Radlett Lady could improve for the fitting of first time cheekpieces while Polar Haze is well weighted on his best form but is hard to win with. This is a trappy affair and stakes should be kept to a minimum but for the winner we return to Christian Bendix.
