National Stakes Tips & Betting Preview

Blown By Wind has won two of his three starts to date but shaped as though a step up in trip would help him when scoring at Ascot last time out. VINTAGE BRUT looked a smart colt at Thirsk last month, pulling clear on his debut to win by seven lengths. He is the one they have to beat today if building on that promising debut, with his yard resisting the urge to get more experience in weaker novice races, they clearly feel he is up to this assignment on just his second start. Many in with each-way claims but Wedding Date may be likeliest to chase the selection home for the Hannon team that have won five of the last ten renewals of this race.
