A cracking renewal of this Grade 1. FOREVER BLESSED was impressive when slamming Romeo's Bond at Sandown and gets the nod to take the step up in class in his stride and stretch his unbeaten record to 3. Northern-raider Skycutter and Wensleydale winner Porticello head the dangers, while there's a feeling that Magistrato is better than he showed at Cheltenham and he's also on the shortlist.
