A chance is taken with the Gordon Elliott-trained, ALLEE BLEUE. The yard boast a 36% win and place strike rate at this meeting in the last four years and this Mount Nelson gelding can land the prize running off a 2lb lower mark than his last win over two years ago when with the Philip Hobbs yard. Main dangers are likely to be The Red Menace, beaten a head on his latest start and Tipperary winner, Humm Baby.
