Blue Bajan won a Group 2 at Sandown last season but this is probably a warm-up for another tilt at next month's Yorkshire Cup, in which he finished second last year, and the ground will be softer than ideal. The 10-year-old has the beating of Electroyser on the form book however. Dandino comes to hand early but is another who'd prefer a faster surface while Eternal Heart is upped in grade after a brave success over 1m4f at Doncaster. Solar Sky was quite highly tried last year after winning his maiden and should win races this term while November Handicap winner Zuider Zee will like the ground but so will PARLOUR GAMES. Successful in a couple of tough handicaps last August, he was still improving at the end of the last campaign and looks well up to winning at this level this year.
