ATHOLLBLAIR BOY is now firmly into the veteran stage but he proved game as he brought up an eighth C&D success 5 weeks ago and a 3 lb rise shouldn't prevent him going well again in this groove. Thaki has signalled his turn isn't far away of late and he's feared along with recent C&D winner Flash The Dash. The Gay Blade would prove a danger to all granted his own way on the front end.
