General Blucher looks like the one to be with here; the list of dangers is headed by Just Like A Woman and Atheer Dubai. The selection made a promising racecourse debut before winning here when he beat Smooth Sovereign last time. He ran green that day so there should be more to come and he looks a solid bet. Just Like A Woman won well at Catterick last time when she showed a gutsy attitude to beat Averoo. This extra yardage should suit today and she can go well. Atheer Dubai finished fourth behind Ibn Khaldun a few runs back but he hasn't built on that and he is becoming expensive to follow. Locum has got some fair form but he has been off the track since October and he may be sharper for this run. General Blucher looks a progressive type and he gets the vote.
