Verdict

British raider KIND OF BLUE has improved with each of his four starts, most recently finishing a third in a strong renewal of the Hackwood Stakes at Newbury. He may well have more to offer given his low-mileage and progressive profile and gets the nod ahead of Moss Tucker, who was below par back here when last seen in May but will have every chance if back to his best. Electric Storm and Shartash are others with decent claims.
