AMAZING BLUE SKY is given the vote to win this at the expense of True Britannia and Special Bond. The selection won nicely here on his penultimate run and was not discredited when finishing fourth of eight at the same venue in a better contest. Back in this claiming company he looks difficult to oppose. True Britannia won in this grade at Kempton last week after been fitted with a set of visors for the first time. They obviously worked in his favour so with similar conditions here he has to be respected once again. Special Bond has form in maiden company and is dropped into this grade for the first time. She looks more than capable of entering the frame once again so any market moves should be noted. However for the winner we return to Amazing Blue Sky.
