BLUE MOUNTAIN could only manage third when sent off favourite over a mile here last time. But the Godolphin colt was beaten only a nose over an extended 7f at Chester on his earlier debut and gets another chance over today’s trip. Private Rocket finished in front of Jirnaas when placed over 6f here a fortnight ago but Times Past was still beaten a long way when runner-up on his debut. Copal and London Eye are likely improvers on the back of modest debut efforts with Bayroot and Entertaining making most appeal of the newcomers.
