Verdict

BLAME CULTURE sets the standard returning to novice company off a mark of 82. He may prove good enough having placed over today’s trip on the all-weather in the past. Mutanaasib and Althaaqib are likely improvers but the rest with racecourse experience make little appeal. Awalii, Autumn War and Done Deal are all worth noting but Cottingham makes most appeal of the newcomers as he’s a brother to Group 1 winner Integral among others.
