Verdict

Front-runner Blame It On Sally has enjoyed a productive second half of the season since sent handicapping by his astute trainer Sir Mark Prescott. However, the suspicion is that his winning opportunities are now steadily beginning to dwindle and he could find the progressive fellow three-year-old ANYONECANHAVEITALL too hot to handle. Mark Johnston's charge admittedly isn't fully proven on an artificial surface, but he acquitted himself well in defeat when runner-up to Just Hubert in the Edinburgh Cup (Musselburgh) last weekend. There's no obvious reason as to why he won't take to this surface, and he's officially 2lb ahead of the handicapper.
