Verdict

The US-bred Blue On Blue and Solajan both wear a hood on their introduction. Sureyoutoldme is a half-brother to a juvenile winner, however, and makes more appeal than Paddy A, who may do better in handicaps. But Bolt Phantom and Fortune Of War have twice only found one too good and should be thereabouts. THAAQIB showed promise at Newbury and Newmarket before finishing third over track and trip last month. This doesn't look as strong a contest and Charlie Hills' grey can open his account today.
