Verdict

SANTOS BLUE has taken off since being switched to handicaps and still looks well-in following a 12 lb rise for his latest success, so he's selected to complete the hat-trick. Rafferty's Return is a likeable front runner who seems sure to give another good account, with Dancewiththewind completing the shortlist.
