Verdict

None of those with experience have looked anything like winning so far and Weymouth Bay was still well beaten when third over 6f here a week ago. Cider Apple, Henrik and Woodview may well improve but this won’t take much winning and any strong support for Clive Cox’ newcomer SKY BLUE THINKING, a half-sister to five winners, could prove significant. Astapor is a full-brother to a winner and is another to consider.
