Little Boy Blue came good at Lingfield a fortnight ago with Avon Green back in third and is penalised for his trouble. Los Camachos made a promising start when runner-up over track and trip and is less exposed than Midsummer Knight while Royal Pursuit is preferred to Global Rose as he steps down in distance. But William Haggas has sent out a couple of novice winners in the last week and REIFFA may be good enough to make a successful start given she’s related to a host of winners.
