Race preview
Having lost ground due to dwelling in the stalls, BLUE TRAIN's recent third at Yarmouth finish can be upgraded and rising from 1m could be a good move given the manner in which the William Knight-trained gelding finished off that race. Caspian King and Live Each Day have been promising since stepping up to this trip and warrant close inspection. Pebble Island is also notable on just his third handicap start.
