Blaze of Colour looked a three-year-old worth following when landing a handicap over course and distance two weeks ago and is taken to defy the 6lb rise at the main expense of Party Ploy and Antigiotto. The last mentioned is lightly raced and hails from the stable of Luca Cumani that does well with their runners here. He has to be respected on his first venture into a handicap. Party Ploy has considerably more experience in this grade but has to defy a career high mark if he is to follow up last month's Leicester success. Top weight Northside Lodge has flattered to deceive of late and may be best watched at present and of more interest may be the mare Desert Island Disc, who can race off a 1lb lower mark than when landing an apprentices' handicap recently. Sylvester Kirk's string remain in decent form so Karaoke has to be respected along with the consistent pair of Most-Saucy and Pay The Silver. Nick Littmoden's all-weather scorer Orinocovsky has been given a three month break since his latest start and is another probably best watched today in a race that is taken to go to Sir Michael Stoute's Blaze Of Colour, who has an obvious chance.
