Ocean Blaze can land this at the expense of Mr Fortright and Back In The Red. The selection comes form a yard that does well at Bath and that comes here in tip top form at present. Ocean Blaze was in winning form here last month on rain softened ground and his last two defeats have been eye catching when second at Windsor and at Warwick both on soft of heavier ground. With the ground likely to be testing once more he looks the tyoe to get back to winning ways. Mr Fortright won here on fast ground back in May and did run well when fourth of eleven here behind Diminuto last time out. That was a fair effort and if reproducing the same level of form then he would have to be respected once more. As does Back In The Red who comes form a yard doing really well right now so any market moves should be noted. But for the winner we return to Ocean Blaze.
