Initial Blue
INITIAL BLUE was clear of the remainder when runner-up at Southwell last month and gets the nod in a tricky-looking finale. Winchurch and Havana Sky head the list of dangers.

Dual Kempton scorer this year who returned to form when good second of 7 in handicap (9/2) at Southwell (6f) 32 days ago.

Capitalised on a career-low mark when winning 7-runner handicap at Nottingham (6f, good, 7/2) 36 days ago. 8 lb higher now but is not taken lightly.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNottingham6f 18yGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat1/7Nottingham5f 8yGood (Good to Soft in places)Flat4/8Southwell6f 16yStandardFlat3/9Lingfield Park6f 1yStandardFlat5/9Southwell4f 214yStandardFlat7/10- 3(1)Havana SkyJ: Oisin MurphyT: Ed Dunlop202-084Age 59/29/25/1

Three-time C&D winner who posted his best effort of this year when fourth of 9 in handicap at this course (6f) 90 days ago. 1 lb lower now and looks a likely player.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosWolverhampton6f 20yStandardFlat4/9Lingfield Park7f 1yStandardFlat8/8Southwell7f 14yStandardFlat10/12Lingfield Park7f 1yStandardFlat2/12Wolverhampton6f 20yStandardFlat12/12- 2(4)Giorgio MJ: Jonny PeateT: Mark Loughnane6376477Age 58/110/19/1

Made all on second start for this yard at Lingfield (7f) in December but mostly respectable efforts at best since, pulling too hard when well held at Yarmouth latest.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosYarmouth7f 3yGoodFlat7/10Musselburgh7f 15yGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat7/10Wolverhampton7f 36yStandardFlat4/12Lingfield Park7f 1yStandardFlat6/9Wolverhampton7f 36yStandardFlat7/12- 9(12)Daytona LadyJ: James SullivanT: Ruth Carr76-3134Age 68/115/2

Not the most consistent but attracted strong market support before ending her losing run over C&D in April and has made the frame in both starts since.

Dropped to a handy mark but was unsuited by drop back in trip when ninth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (6f) 11 days ago and could be similar story here.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosSouthwell6f 16yStandardFlat9/11Kempton Park7fStandard / SlowFlat11/14Southwell1m 13yStandardFlat6/10Southwell7f 14yStandardFlat3/11Kempton Park7fStandard / SlowFlat5/7- 5(3)Fuji MountainJ: Zak WheatleyT: Declan Carroll5-02487Age 414/111/112/1

Has yet to add to his 2 juvenile successes in 2022. 25/1, sixth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6f) in January.
