Those towards the head of the handicap do not appeal as being especially well treated whereas BLUE JACKET (NAP) still looks to occupy a healthy enough mark on the back of a series of consistent and competitive efforts. Versatile from both a trip and ground perspective, she goes well for Emma Sayer and can remain a contender of note despite the rise in grade. Chances Are showed improved form behind stable companion Invoke at Carlisle over this more suitable trip and looks a player along with Mystical Moment and the unexposed Isntshesomething, who looks on an attractive perch for this handicap bow.
