Verdict

Blueberry Hill placed in both starts at Kempton last year and can figure while Shigar can be forgiven a below par effort in soft going when last in action. But Richard Hannon has sent out two of the previous four winners of this and DAWN OF LIBERATION finished in front of a couple of subsequent winners when runner-up at Newmarket in September. He’s in the 2000 Guineas so should prove good enough for a run-of-the-mill novice event. Pensa Te and Mount Athos are newcomers to note.
