Verdict

BLUE FOR YOU wasn't at his best in last month's Royal Hunt Cup yet, the return to this more speed-favouring track rates a plus and, having shaped well on return in a C&D handicap at the Dante Meeting, he could well be worth chancing to get back to winning ways from an easing mark. Dual C&D winner Eilean Dubh comes here on the back of success at Hamilton and is feared, with La Trinidad and Wild Lion others to consider.
