Formscan - TIMES ARE BLUE overcame greenness to win a Plumpton bumper on his debut in May and that form looks fairly solid with the third winning since. He receives the weight-for-age allowance on his hurdling debut and could make it two from two. Getaway Drumlee won between the flags at Tattersalls Farm in April and is respected on his NH bow, while Wot You Wearing has shown promise in bumpers and cannot be ruled out either.
