Verdict

INDEEVAR BLEU shaped encouragingly following 8 months off when runner-up at Newbury 4 weeks ago and, with this increase in trip fancied to unlock further progress, Olly Murphy's low-mileage 7-y-o could well be the answer. The thriving Bear Market showed a good attitude when scoring over C&D 3 weeks ago and is feared. Florida Dreams and Serious Operator round off the shortlist.
