BLAIRGOWRIE ran green when a beaten favourite here in December. The form of that race has been franked and he’ll know more today so should make a bold bid to recoup losses as he appears to hold Great Heart'Jac on collateral form. It took a while for Sinister Minister to grasp the nettle at Catterick earlier this month but he was noted making good late headway. Party Business hasn’t done a lot wrong in two runs to date and Horizon D'Ainay cost £80,000 and is bred to be a jumper.
