Gainsborough's Art has been well beaten in both starts since winning at Bangor in March but Wincanton second Blue Hills continues in good form and is preferred to the erratic Al Amaan. Clu Agus Cail had a pipe-opener over hurdles here last month and The Grey One should also be better for a recent outing but we'll take a chance that SABLAZO hasn't entirely lost his confidence as he's back on the same mark as when successful over C&D in November. The bottom weight can come out on top.
