Verdict

This looks wide open but Mickey Bowen's handicap debutant AXEL BLEUE is much less exposed than most and is taken to build on his promising Worcester second and add to his point/bumper victories. Jamie Snowden's C&D scorer Jack Sprat heads the list of dangers, while Ebony Warrior, Gwash, Twist Of Fatecatch and Island Run all need factoring in too.
