Olly Murphy's THE BLUE ROOM is narrowly preferred to last month's C&D runner-up Uptown Dandy. It's Top weakened out of it in an Ascot listed last time but should get involved if back to the level of his Chepstow win. Point recruit Walk Tall would also need considering if the betting speaks in his favour.
