Verdict

A belated first career win beckons for BLUE REED, who was unlucky to bump into a handicap blot over 16.5f at Punchestown recently and this step back up in trip looks a good move. Kanog Bay is open to improvement and he is next on the list ahead of top-weight Chanceawetmorning, My Good Pal and Yoursimplythebest.
