Formscan - Blue For You has been out of luck so far this term but David O'Meara's gelding is now 4lb lower than when landing the corresponding race 12 months ago, and he must feature prominently in calculations. La Trinidad won this in 2021 and his recent Redcar victory suggests another bold showing is likely. The unexposed ELNAJMM was a commanding winner on his handicap bow last month, though, and given that he ought to improve further, a 10lb hike might not be enough to prevent him from going in again.
