Forecasts

Blue Flame (5/2), Prodigious Blue (3/1), Saaheq (10/3), Sir Rodneyredblood (7/1), Han Solo Berger (8/1), Dark Side Prince (8/1), Street Parade (25/1)

Verdict

Making a belated first start on all-weather, PRODIGIOUS BLUE proved at least as good as ever when winning at Newcastle 16 days ago and he can score again now switched to polytrack. The 4-y-o is taken to see off the challenge of Blue Flame who is respected on his seasonal/stable debut, while Dark Side Prince has been running well this year and is another to consider.
