THE BLUE BOMBER has been running well without getting his head in front including last time out at Ludlow. The soft ground he's forecast to encounter here is unlikely to inconvenience him and he sets the standard on form while the likelihood of him obtaining a soft lead is also a positive. Viserion can fill the second placed berth following a solid run at Leicester on his most recent start while Zalvados can build on the promise of his second on hurdling debut at Newbury by taking third here.
