David O'Meara can cap an outstanding season of big handicap successes by taking this valuable prize with BLUE FOR YOU who wasn't seen to best effect in the Challenge Cup here last time and can show he's still on a favourable mark returned to 1m and with Danny Tudhope back in the saddle. Migration's absence since his Spring Cup second isn't a massive concern given his good record fresh and he heads the dangers along with the selection's stablemate Orbaan and last year's runner-up Symbolize.
