Verdict

BLOWN IT has his third start in a week after scoring over 5f at Catterick and just failing over 6f here on Saturday. Winning partner Paul Hanagan is back on board, but more importantly Keith Dalgleish's sprinter is back down in distance and can return to winning ways. Royal Blade finished well behind the selection on Saturday, but Ballarina went close over C&D last time and another bold bid looks likely. Argentine and Lees Anthem are others to consider and Mercers Row is worth a second glance in the betting on his belated reappearance.
