Verdict
Suzi Icon isn't bred for this trip but was staying on strongly over 1m2f at Beverley last time. King Calypso has only won on Polytrack so far but at least we know he stays the trip, a remark that also applies to INJUN SANDS. The latter, a dual Polytrack winner in early summer, wasn't at his best at Chelmsford last time but his earlier run at Haydock over this trip points to his obvious chances. Easy Ffos Las maiden winner Alla Breve ran poorly on her handicap debut at Salisbury where she pulled hard and had nothing left while the beautifully-bred Galileo filly Blue Chip hasn't shown much though makes her handicap debut from a very lowly mark.
