Verdict
Sky Blue Thinking bids for a hat-trick having beaten WESTERN MUSIC (NAP) over track and trip two runs ago. But that was the latter’s handicap debut and first outing since April and David Barron’s filly can turn the tables on these more favourable terms. Julie Johnston has been thereabouts on the Turf recently and is preferred to I'm Mable while the veteran Nezar won off a similar mark here back in May and placed at Lingfield last time.
