SKY BLUE THINKING's terrific winning run for her new stable finally came to an end at Wolverhampton last time but it was another admirable effort, and she might well be able to eke out a bit more from a good draw under Oisin Murphy, so she gets the marginal vote. Legende d'Art and Stone Circle are both down in the weights and ran well recently, so are solid alternatives.
