BLESSED BOY (2) disappointed when fifth under a penalty at Kempton (1m) in March. That was his first run in five months and there is definitely scope for further progress now handicapping. Stepping up to 1m2f could suit and is narrowly preferred to recent impressive Brighton winner THE AFRICAN QUEEN (1) who remains a huge threat under a penalty. The well-bred Sea The Stars gelding REACHING HIGH (6) may do better now switching to handicaps for top connections. Last-time-out course and distance second MAREFUORI (4) cannot be ruled out.
