Camachess won an amateurs' race here earlier in the month while Walking On Clouds escapes a penalty for landing an apprentices’ contest over track and trip just four days ago. But BLUEBIRD belied odds of 50/1 when going close here on only her second start since March and it could be her turn today with James Fanshawe’s yard among the winners lately. Breach is usually in the mix without winning and it could be a similar story today.
