Verdict
Blue Bicycle had some reasonable form in Ireland and could be interesting in a moderate race like this for his new stable, while It’s A Mans World won a similar contest at Catterick last spring and this looks his grade, but it could be worth siding with veteran MIGHTY WHITEY. He’s won over course and distance and could be dangerous dropped back into selling company after a break.
