Little Boy Blue is speedy but hasn’t been easy to place over the last couple of years. ABLE KANE won here and at Bath last September and made a very encouraging return to action at the latter track earlier this month. Although carrying top weight, only All You Wish is receiving significant poundage and Rod Millman’s charge looks the one to beat as Newyorkstateofmind nearly always seems to find a way of getting beat and is 0-11 on Turf. Grey Galleon is another who struggles to get his head in front.
