Verdict
Note Bleu has gained both of his victories here though the furthest he’s been is 1m4f. First Charge completed a Tapeta double over the trip but couldn’t quite complete a hat-trick on this track and is up another 3lb. Rumi dead-heated over 1m3f here but couldn’t complete a double over an extra furlong on a return visit and this is a big step up in trip. MUKHA MAGIC (NAP) has gained all three all-weather victories on the Fibresand at Southwell but stays the trip and bounced back to form in a better race than this at Newcastle so gets the vote to gain his first Polytrack victory.
