MYSTIC BLAZE (NAP) has been placed at Southwell the last twice but was also third at Chelmsford before that so the switch back to the Polytrack should not be a problem. Andrew Balding's colt gets the nod ahead of New Agenda, who showed some ability in a couple of starts in Ireland last year when with Dermot Weld. Howardian Hills and Dor's Law are likely improvers while Bunbury, a brother to a Group 2 winner, makes most appeal of the newcomers.
