Blue Dark was placed in a decent contest between the flags at Charing in January, albeit beaten 29 lengths. He's one to consider here while Man From Moscow is often thereabouts and Jazz Attack was doing his best work at the finish at Godstone last month. But there is surely more to come from SUPA TRAMP, who wasn't unduly punished when looking in need of the run behind Dante Storm at Detling in January. Suzy Bull's eight-year-old can open his account under Rules here.
