In depth
Verdict
Sundance Boy has been raised 5lb for winning over a longer trip here on good ground while Oliver's Island was well beaten last time having won at Uttoxeter at the end of last year. Iniesta’s latest second at Taunton came in a seller and this is tougher but BLUE RHYTHM looks to have an easier task than when third at Huntingdon last time when clear of the rest and Alastair Ralph’s charge can finally open his account. Timcoda has yet figure over timber but has undergone wind surgery since last in action and also wears a first-time tongue-tie.
