Verdict

BLADEY LADY and Claret Time dominated the finish of a similar event at Newcastle earlier this month and are taken to come to the fore again, with Tim Easterby’s charge fancied to confirm that form despite a 4 lb rise. Claret And Blues showed a bit more over C&D last time and can be involved if taking another step forward.

6	Proved a totally different proposition to previously when winning 11-runner nursery at Newcastle last time by ¾-length from Claret Time, going with plenty of zest. Meets that rival on 3 lb worse terms here but completely unexposed and should again go close if translating that form back to the turf. 1st Pick 6 Bladey Lady (Ire) Jockey: David Allan Trainer: Tim Easterby J: David Allan T: Tim Easterby	99	-	-	-	29%
