ALLEE BLEUE was far from disgraced when fifth in the Imperial Cup at Sandown earlier this month. He'd won his two previous starts here and at Taunton and should pick up the winning thread again reverting to novice company, despite a double penalty. Mahlers Star was second on his debut under Rules at Towcester last month but didn't build on that at Plumpton next time. Easy Street has plenty to prove but Topamichi is surely better than he showed at Doncaster at the end of 2014 as he's won five times on the Flat up to 1m2f.
