Blackmail appears to be the most reliable of these and is taken to beat Be Wise Girl, Mr Belvedere and Buz Kiri. The selection was very impressive when winning at Brighton last time out. He easily picked off the front running Sovereign Dreamer in that classified event and although he will find things harder back in handicap company, he does appear to be on a lenient mark. Be Wise Girl chased home Graceful air at Pontefract recently and should go close despite the burden of top-weight. Meanwhile Mr Belvedere returns to the turf following two very good efforts on the all-weather. Buz Kiri is back down to a favourable mark and looks set to run well a a decent price, however Blackmail is the most consistent runner in the field and he gets the nod on this occasion.
