In depth

Verdict

BLEU ASTRAL hasn't been disgraced in a couple of previous starts here and he stayed on late in a claimer at Salisbury last time. That form should probably be taken with a pinch of salt but he's lightly-raced in comparison to many of his rivals so gets a tentative vote ahead of the luckless recent Thirsk second Just Marion. The latter's trainer will also be expecting a big run from Imperial Link while Spirit In Time and Corzetti are others with claims.
