Verdict
It could be worth chancing BLUE SKY BOY, who finished nearer last than first on debut for this yard over 10.2f here recently, but he's entitled to come on for that run given that he was returning from a nine-month absence and this step back up in trip will also help. Royal Blaze bounced back from a couple of low-key efforts when going close in a C&D handicap earlier this month and he is next on the list ahead of Golspie and Prince Quattro.
