Race Tip
A setback kept AZURE BLUE (14) out for the second half of the season last year. The Michael Dods trained mare won this twelve months ago before perhaps not handling the track when sixth in the 6f G1 July Cup at Newmarket. Can get the better of fellow female contender Set Weights INGALONG (15) who is two from two at this venue and commands respect on first outing since finishing fourth in the G1 British Champions Sprint Stakes at Ascot during October. WASHINGTON HEIGHTS (13) battled on to beat MILL STREAM (8) (second) and SPYCATCHER (11) attempting he G3 Abernant Stakes at Newmarket in April. May get involved once more while the latter pair cannot be dismissed following that outing.
