Not the strongest of contests and we believe that Regulated has been found an opportunity to break his duck at the expense of Lady Blade and La Grace. Jamie Osborne's charge has an official BHB rating of 75 and while there is a slight concern about the trip - there does not appear to be anything of that caliber here. He didn't do too much wrong at Lingfield behind La Coruna and the second in that contest has come out again to finish second to the regarded Colour Wheel. Lady Blade ran as if a mile was urgently required when she was seen out at Brighton. She had La Grace in behind on that occasion and of the two, looks a much more credible option. Platinum Chief is consistent but exposed at selling grade. Eboracum could be capable of more for this step up in trip but the form of Tim Easterby's juveniles has been a tad disappointing this term. Another Bottle is mentioned in dispatches after finishing third to Tashkil at Doncaster earlier in the season.Talking horse Just A Fluke was slightly ahead of him and its fair to say that he won't be 100/1 on this occasion. We will side with Regulated in a tricky opening contest.
