The four-year-old SKI BLAST will need to prove he handles ground this soft and 7f but his second to The Tin Man at Doncaster two runs ago looks the best piece of form on offer in this. Rockcandy Mountain was third on soft going at Carlisle at the start of the week and is probably the danger ahead of Cadeaux, who has only made the frame once in six attempts but does like the trip. The remaining trio look very ordinary.
