Verdict
Last month’s course winner Juthoor should be capable of better now he’s got his head in front. Blue Mist has only raced on Turf once before but beat a decent sort on debut at Kempton last year and was second on his belated reappearance, though that was over 1m2f. KNIGHTED keeps defying the handicapper and seems oblivious to ground conditions. It will be tough to overcome a further 6lb rise but he’s tough and a hat-trick might be on the cards. Borodin has a chance if forgiven a poor run at York but Data Protection and Accessor will need to up their game again and Autretot continues to disappoint.
