Blue Dune has decent claims on his recent placed efforts on the Polytrack if handling the soft ground. The inconsistent Madame Lilibet has no problems with the going but has a bit to prove over the longer distance so a chance is taken on A SOUTHSIDE BOY. He has yet to attempt today's trip but scored over 1m4f in heavy going at Hamilton last time and the lightly-raced four-year-old has scope for further improvement. Bijou Dan was third over C&D in similar conditions recently and may reverse form with runner-up Finellas Fortune, well beaten at Redcar since.
