Verdict
Blue De Vega has hit form with a vengeance, finding only a useful sprinter too good in a conditions race at Leicester last time having rattled up a hat-trick in handicaps previously. However, he’s shot up the ratings as a consequence and may find a couple too good on today’s terms. Chelmsford third Leodis Dream still looks a few pounds too high but Texting is only a pound higher than when scoring over track and trip in July. Daschas won this last year but is still 3lb higher. With the ground still drying out, everything looks right for veteran CASPIAN PRINCE to win for the first time on Turf in more than two years.
