AZURE BLUE has placed in all three outings so far and Michael Dods’ filly debuts on the all-weather weighted to beat Cardiff. The latter has failed to build on a debut second over 5f at Thirsk and Invasive showed no improvement on her latest outing but Share The Profits finished closer at Wolverhampton recently. Neverbatsaneyelid and Khurumbi have plenty of speed in their respective pedigrees and are newcomers to note.
