BLUE FOR YOU ran too freely in the Royal Hunt Cup but this is a track he’s gone well at in the past and the five-year-old is surely worth another chance. Eilean Dubh won this race last year at the expense of David O’Meara’s inmate and he will arrive into this assignment off the back of a comfortable win at Hamilton. Christian Howarth is given a big chance aboard Godolphin’s Wild Lion and the gelding is retained in the cheekpieces that he sported when winning here last month. Aramaic didn’t seem to get home under positive tactics at Sandown while the evergreen What's The Story is of interest on a first outing for Richard Fahey. Doncaster winner La Trinidad appears to be very much best of the rest.
