Verdict

BLENKINSOP has been highly progressive since having his attentions turned to handicaps and, while he's up in grade, he makes plenty of appeal as he bids to complete a four-timer. Lady Adare also arrives on the back of a hat-trick (unbeaten over hurdles) and she looks a danger despite an absence, while Pikar's Chepstow novice win is proving very strong form, so he's also well respected.

  1. BLENKINSOP
