Verdict
Reflex Blue catches the eye in the seller ahead of All Honey, Ginner Morris and Bachelors Pad. Running through the field. The selection has been dropped two pounds for a fair effort behind Lord Alyn at Hereford last time, form that makes him very competitive here. Bachelors Pad finished four lengths behind Reflex Blue that day but is actually now slightly worse off at the weights. That said, he can bag some money. All Honey won a course and distance seller in May from a mark of 84, so has to be considered off a mark of 79, while Ginner Morris has won a couple of mile claimers at Newcastle on heavy and ought to be competitive at this level from his current mark. Of the others, Felony won from a mark of 70 at Taunton in 1999 and can be given a chance of a place if fully wound-up on his seasonal return. Mister Graham has yet to register a win in 37 attempts while Perfect Venture has a very long absence to overcome. The rest are hard to fancy so we spin back to the selection, which is Reflex Blue.
