BLUES SINGER created a good impression when scoring on debut at Kempton in March and is taken to defy a penalty on his return. Calvino and Little Ledgend are very appealing newcomers and the betting should be informative.

Verdict
Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Music of Tara and overcame inexperience to make a winning start in Kempton junior bumper in March, green (took keen hold) but coming clear. Will improve and good chance of defying a penalty.

€130,000 Walk In The Park gelding out of useful chaser for yard. Appealing newcomer for leading yard who took this last year with a good prospect starting out.

Much improved from debut when third of 6 in C&D bumper on return 3 weeks ago, not beaten far, although it was a messy race. More needed again.

Verdict
Getaway filly. Closely related to fair hurdler Gentle Connections, and half-sister to yard's useful hurdler/very smart chaser Midnight River. Showed some ability but failed to match the turn of foot of the more speedily-bred winner when second in weak Stratford bumper on debut 7 weeks ago.
