        In depth

        Verdict

        Blushing Russian is the choice in a very open contest, Yorkie and Cayman Breeze are also expected to be involved in the finsih. The selection had shown very little before chasing home Anissati at Southwell. That was quite a competitive affair and with more improvement likely he looks the one to be on. Yorkie comes here after landing a similar race at Yarmouth last time. He isn't proven on this surface, but if he does handle it he will be a tough nut to crack. Cayman Breeze is an in and out performer but put in a solid enough display last time and warrants every respect. Mind Alert can also be given a squeak on the pick of his form, but Blushing Russian appears to be going the right way and gets our vote.
