BLAME IT ON SALLY made most when scoring over 1m4f at Epsom and was expected to follow up over this trip at Salisbury. He couldn't cope with the front-running Oydis, who galloped his rivals into the ground, but gets another chance in this moderate contest. Sinndarella was beaten a head over this track and trip before dropping down to 1m4f at Chepstow which didn't suit so she's an obvious danger while this is Victoriano's trip and ground and he didn't enjoy 2m on soft at Nottingham. Twenty Years On is only 1lb higher than when scoring over 1m4f at Salisbury and ran quite well over slightly shorter than this at Newbury last time.
