This is the richest race on the card, but for further pointers we'll look at the market on the day, as there are several newcomers, but provisionally we'll side with SABANDER BLEUE ahead of Mont Agel and Judiciary. Mick Channon's colt is the most exposed, but can be relied on to run his race even though he's yet to get off the mark in six runs to date. He's raced in better company than this without success, but the experience he's had could see him land this contest for the yard for the second successive year. He's their only runner on the card, and it's a long way to come just for a run-out. Mont Agel is Michael Bell's only runner here, and having been placed on debut he steps up in trip, which judging by the way he ran on to grab third spot looks to be a positive move. Of the newcomers, Godolphin's Judiciary looks the pick of their two runners. He's not got any great entries as yet, but is well related; stablemate Ginger Jack ran poorly on debut at Southwell and would need to show plenty of improvement to take this. The ring should be watched to see any betting moves, but we're happy to side with Sabander Bleue.
