In depth

Verdict

BLIGHTY is unproven on Fibresand but is a cut above of these and should have no trouble opening his account if handling the surface. He had Pretty Bubbles well behind when narrowly beaten at Nottingham last time and the remainder have all been beaten out of sight so far. One of the newcomers may well prove a bigger threat and Truth Hurts makes more appeal than Bridge To My Heart of those.
