Verdict

SHAN BLUE was in the process of delivering one of the most visually impressive displays in the Charlie Hall's recent history when falling 3 out on return last winter and, whilst unable to build on the promise of that run in 2 starts thereafter, he's well worth another chance to prove his mark of 148 a lenient one on return for his leading yard. Into Overdrive and Sounds Russian are 2 upwardly mobile chasers and rate live dangers, whilst Sporting John is another to keep an eye on.

  1. SHAN BLUE (IRE)
  2. INTO OVERDRIVE
  3. SOUNDS RUSSIAN (IRE)
