The hat-trick beckons for SUMMERTIME BLUES, who is firmly on the up and should have more to offer on what will be just his eighth career start. Captain Parma failed to take a step forward on his handicap debut at Haydock, but he remains of interest now returned to the all-weather in view of his earlier promise in maiden/novice company. Flag Carrier is also shortlisted, along with Bold Suitor.
