Verdict

BLUE TRAIL did well to overcome a positional bias when finishing narrowly in front of a pair of re-opposing rivals at Kempton 4 weeks ago and, with potential for better still on the back of just 3 career starts, he earns the vote to come out on top again. The runner-up that day, Harrow, rates the chief threat, ahead of Mr Professor.
