It would be unfair to judge Raduis Bleu solely on a couple of runs behind decent novices at Lingfield this season but Alan King's grey has become expensive to follow and doesn't look particularly well treated on his handicap debut. See You Jack may have not been suited by the soft ground at Towcester and shouldn't be written off yet, however, while Heez A Cracker is back in this grade for the first time since scoring at Kempton in October. Talenti is fit from the all-weather and could be interesting but CRAZY EYES should be straight enough now after a couple of runs and gave the impression a drop in distance wouldn't come amiss when weakening into the sixth behind Kauto The Roc over 3m at Kempton in November.
