Verdict

With the majority stepping up in class, this could be best left to DR. BLOOMER who landed a Grade 3 2m event in May when last seen. Swimming River contested a top-class contest at Keeneland in April and must be accorded respect, while Sound Blaster is another to consider on best form.

Top Tip: Dr. Bloomer (3)
Watch out for: Swimming River (2)
