Verdict

Connections have found the key to Tangled Up In Blue and is the TEAMtalk selection to follow up a recent Haydock success under a 6lb penalty. The son of Marju, who had shown early-season promise in useful company, was gaining compensation for an unlucky-in-running effort at Chester two days earlier and with trip and ground in his favour, he looks sure to take plenty of beating. Michelle Ma Belle has proved a consistent type and was far from discredited when fifth of 18 in a valuable nursery at Doncaster last month but has been raised 5lb since so needs to progress. Sulzano looks a difficult ride who appears to have plenty of weight for what she has achieved in maidens while Willheconquertoo is more exposed than most and is in the handicapper's grip at present.
