Race preview
LITTLE BOY BLUE has been running consistently well and although he has yet to face the challenges that this track bring, it is encouraging that he boasts solid form at both Bath and Brighton (similarly undulating courses). He shades the verdict ahead of Poetic Force, who struck over 1m at Bath last time, while it would come as no surprise to see Handytalk involved at the finish either.
