Verdict

Very few outstanding profiles here and it’s hard to be that keen on one in particular. Graphite will probably be better in handicaps while Bombay remains open to improvement but isn’t sure to act on the ground. Munthany needs to get back to his previous form to take a hand with Guiding Passion looking as though she will be better in handicaps (the surface also a doubt) so SOLDIER BLUE is given the nod with an improvement in the riding department this time around and having shown decent form over this C&D before.
