Malt Master and Amtired could be newcomers to bear in mind if the market speaks in their favour but Theredballoon looks vulnerable under a penalty having his first start for nine months. Forever Waining and Hackpenbay both disappointed last time and are starting to look exposed and a couple of these look more likely to improve on promising first runs. Allerton kept on from the rear when fourth at Ffos Las last month but preference is for BLUE BLOODED, who showed enough when third to subsequent Grade 2 runner-up Bygones In Brid at Musselburgh to suggest he'll take all the beating here with the promising Jeremiah McGrath taking off 7lb.
