Verdict

Miaella drops back in trip after placing over 7f at Chelmsford when giving plenty of weight to younger horses. Top Breeze won over 6f at Kempton in October and returns to action along with Rainbow Girl, placed in both starts over further last summer. But MAJOR BLUE has the more recent form with a victory over 6f here and James Eustace’s charge is taken to cope with the drop down in distance given he hails from the same family as the smart 5f winners Speed Cop and Siren’s Gift. Ginger Max is also speedily bred and could go well for Richard Fahey’s yard on his debut.
