Verdict

Lots with chances. SANTOS BLUE was greatly improved refitted with a tongue strap when making a winning handicap debut at Wetherby and Dan Skelton's son of Blue Bresil can make light of a 7 lb rise with the headgear again sported. The handily weighted Haas Boy could emerge as the chief threat, although returning duo On The Wild Side and Inca de Lafayette need considering too, especially if the market speaks in their favour.

  1. SANTOS BLUE
  2. HAAS BOY (FR)
  3. ON THE WILD SIDE (IRE)
