Trail Blaze bids for a hat-trick but is upped in class and unproven on fast ground and it was soft going at Newbury when Forest Row landed his maiden last month. Grey Mirage followed up his win on Polytrack with victory in testing ground at Sandown but Apostle attempts the mile trip for the first time having scored over 7f at Salisbury on his return. Gabrial won a couple of sprints on good to firm going last year and went close over today's distance at Chester last time with Switzerland behind but the speculative vote in a wide-open affair goes to ARCHBISHOP. Brian Meehan's colt had Frog Hollow a couple of lengths behind when beaten only a nose at Newmarket on his reappearance and can go one better with improvement likely.
