Danish Blues won well last time but we will take him on today with Mind The Style, who is preferred to Silly Gilly. The selection finished fifth behind Scarlett Heart last time in a slightly better race than this and with the talented Jack Dean taking a handy 7lbs off his back he can get his head in front from the plum draw. Silly Gilly showed improved form last time to chase home La Vecchia Scuola and if he can reproduce that running here then he should make the frame. Danish Blues certainly has the ability to win this and with the booking of Jamie Spencer catching the eye he has to be considered. However, his wide draw will make life tough and it may pay to look elsewhere for the winner. We are therefore happy to return to Mind The Style who can lead his rivals home.
