Verdict
Boston Blue has won over a much longer trip here and is now with Tony Carroll, who is such a good placer of his horses. He'll probably find this on the short side, however, and preference is for TRANSFER. Richard Price's charge was handed a massive 14lb rise for completing a double in June but didn't run badly on his hat-trick attempt and can get back to winning ways. Taste The Wine looks certain to give a good account after a fine effort at Folkestone and the veteran Mustajed is only 2lb higher than when scoring at Newbury in June.
