Blue Gallery won't be much of a price but is hard to oppose while Busted Flush is preferred ahead of Nearly Before Time to fill the forecast position. Paul Blockley's charge showed the benefit of her initial outing when a convincing course and distance winner in a similar event last month. Sure to improve further, the daughter of Bluebird should prove hard to beat under regular rider Robbie Fitzpatrick. Busted Flush has looked moderate but at least has the experience of racing on this surface and it is hoped that the first-time blinkers provide the necessary improvement. Nearly Before Time has been a little expensive to follow after some poor displays on turf and needs to progress if he is to make an impact on his Fibresand debut.
