Blue Acre can land the finale at the expense of A Bit Chancy and Auberge. The selection caught the eye when fourth of sixteen on his debut at Wetherby. What he beat that day has yet to be seen but improvement is likely and therefore he is one to stay on the right side of. A Bit Chancy comes from a yard that do well in these races and for that reason alone any market moves should be noted while Auberge has continued to improve in these races having finished third of sixteen at Catterick last time out so is short listed to run well. But for the winner we return to Blue Acre.
