Verdict

BILLY BLUE was beaten a couple of lengths when second over track and trip on his recent debut. But he finished ahead of a subsequent winner and normal progress should see him off the mark in this. The likes of Hooded and Gobertier look to have some catching up to do to match John Gosden's colt but while Light Of Asia, Shining Glitter and the half-brother to a Group 1 winner, Tacticus, are all newcomers worth a second glance in the betting.
