      Verdict

      A case can be proposed for all and it's fascinating to see the return to action of Blown By Wind off the steadier of 10-1. A useful juvenile, he hasn't been since finishing out the back in the Superlative Stakes at last season's July Meeting at Newmarket but is clearly the pick on form. The absence is a concern though and RATHBONE (NAP) is a narrow preference in receipt of 8lb. His Pontefract success confirmed he's trained on and he looks the sort to progress again and certainly has conditions to suit. Intuitive will appreciate going back to Class 3 company, Heritage is consistent and Good Luck Fox suggested he's coming to the boil latest.
