The way Birds Of Prey forced his way through when he met trouble in running last time does suggest the gelding has learned plenty form his experiences so far. With his stamina proven over C&D, the Paul Nicholls-trained gelding looks a fair prospect and has to be feared. However, ON THE SLOPES is also making progress and he'll appreciate this ease in grade; the trip and ground should also suit. Barbados Blue also has plenty of scope and must enter calculations given the amount of weight she receives from the boys.
