Showed plenty of ability as a juvenile and won three of his seven starts. Was probably over faced in the Group 2 Superlative Stakes when last seen and will be better suited by this short trip. Has to be considered given the stable's run of form.

Was no better than mid division in the Two-Year-Old Trophy at Redcar last October but bounced back with a win over this trip at Pontefract last month. Raised just 1lb, the gelding would be dangerous to rule out on these terms.

Was a disappointing favourite at Newmarket earlier this month but had previously won a brace on the Polytrack at Kempton; career best on turf is now required but he's still got scope and is another to monitor closely in the betting.

9/2
Won a couple of times over the minimum trip last summer but has yet to impress when tried over 6f; also needs to step up significantly on the form of his reappearance run at York from last time out.

Has the ability to figure and comes into this on the back of a solid effort over 6f at Windsor last time; that was only her second start over this trip and it's very possible she's got more to offer. Worth a betting check at least.

Forecasts

Heritage (5/2), Intuitive (11/4), Rathbone (3/1), Good Luck Fox (9/2), Blown By Wind (13/2)

Verdict

The ease in grade can assist BLOWN BY WIND to get back on track and it would be no surprise to see the Invincible Spirit colt extend the run of good form shown by his stable's runners. Rathbone won well at Pontefract last time and is another to bear in mind, while Heritage also caught the eye in defeat in her latest starts and would be dangerous to ignore. Intuitive and Good Luck Fox both have a bit to prove and might just be best watched on this occasion.
  1. Blown By Wind
