          Verdict

          There should be no hanging about here with the likes of Te Queiro and Forever Phoenix virtually guaranteed to be up with the early pace-setters. However, Blakeset also likes to be on the ball from the gates and it is his tenacious attitude that may give him the edge today. There are numerous dangers though and any of: Sundried Tomato, Just A Glimmer and Majik are capable of forcing their heads into the frame. Action Fighter had some useful form in Germany before joining Nick Littmoden and is another to consider after he shaped as if coming to hand at Wolverhampton last time. However, Blakeset is on the crest of a wave at the moment and remains on a very fair mark, in spite of being raised 6lb for winning at Dunstall Park at the beginning of this month. It is also a big plus that the David Barron-trained gelding is effective at this distance and another bold bid from Blakeset is anticipated on his return to Lingfield.
