BLEU DE VASSY got off the mark in bumpers in comfortable fashion at Clonmel in April and should have a good future over hurdles, so he makes the most appeal. This is a far more suitable assignment for Blaze The Way, who was pitched in the deep end on his hurdling debut here in the spring and should be capable of much better. Teagarden Jazz sets the standard and can't be ignored, either.
