Jay Bee Blue was beaten over a mile last time but had scored over today's trip at Windsor before that. He's preferred to Song Of Parkes who has struggled since winning over track and trip last month. It was soft going when DARK LANE when close at Ffos Las earlier this month and he may have the edge with some cut in the ground and an apprentice's allowance furthering his cause. Jennifer Ferguson's claim should also benefit Perfect Venture given he's 9lb higher than when winning on the Polytrack here in July while Emerald Sea looks best of the rest off her current mark.
